It can run any x86 distro I guess. I have two of them and love them. Whilst it's not the fastest thing on the planet it's quite versatile - especially as a very low power (8 watts) server. > I was thinking something like CentOS Linux 4 if it would run. > I see no reason why it shouldn't. I have the stock Xubuntu on one, and Ubuntu on the other. > Does anyone know what CPU these devices have in them and how much/what > type of memory? (I presume some sort of x86 compatible CPU with SODIMM > memory?) > http://popey.com/~alan/viglen/ Has some info about the device (lspci, lshw and the like) hope that's useful. Also! The web price of those devices is £99 plus VAT and delivery. If you listen to episode 11 of the Ubuntu UK Podcast you'll hear how you can get one for £79 _including_ VAT and delivery, plus a keyboard, mouse and 1G usb stick thrown in! 80 quid for a PC - delivered, great deal :) http://podcast.ubuntu-uk.org/ Cheers, Al. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
