[aklug] Re: Low energy linux box

shivaplug? or something there-aboutish?

how about a dockstar? that's 40$ for an arm processor with 100mb ethernet =
and 3 USB 2.0 ports.

real easy to reflash with new software, and bam! VERY small embedded linux =
server.

I've got a bunch of 'em. (shivas, dockstars, etc.)
