[Lvlug] Waysmall Linux computer

[Mark]

At first I wasn't going to say anything about this mini Linux computer but 
then I decided it was just way too cool.  I just received one today from 
http://www.gumstix.com/ and it took about 5 minutes to get hooked up to it 
using minicom.  It's a 200MHz Arm computer with 64MB RAM, a compact flash 
slot (up to 1 GB), two serial com ports and a usb connection for doing 
point-to-point networking using the Linux usbnet drivers.  This thing is the 
sh**!  

The reason I wasn't going to say anything at first is because my focus was 
completely on hacking the hardware.  I am using it for controlling data 
aquisition and controller hardware and even though I would only consider 
Linux devices I never thought just how cool this thing could be.  This 
computer has no keyboard, display or mouse but it can run on 3 AA batteries 
and server web pages on the net! You gotta see it to believe it.
