Yeah its nice, but by the time he gets it to market a year from now it will not be $25, in the meantime you can get the same thing in a case ready to go, for $99 today and its open source from the get go with a lot more capabilities.

Interesting... http://www.raspberrypi.org/:

Is that networking through an Ethernet USB dongle? So then, presumably
you can hook up a USB hub?

VGA would have been cooler than composite, but I don't care too much
either way since I would use mine as a server and SSH in.

Looks cool. Just wish they were selling them now, instead of 12 months
from now.

BTW: Did anyone hear what happened to PicoTux? I lost track of their
retail site some time ago.
