Review: Excito Bubba home server

,----[ Quote ]
| The Bubba is built around a 160MHz processor, which is only one tenth as fast 
| as a notebook computer's chip, but it uses a special version of the Linux 
| operating system rather than Windows, which means it's more than up to the 
| task.   
| 
| Despite Linux having a fearsome reputation as being hard to set up and use, 
| setting up the Bubba was simple, as long as your router uses DHCP (this is 
| switched on by default for most routers).

Compelling Linux server slithers into the open

,----[ Quote ]
| Given the compact size of the Slug (it's smaller than most of
| the hard disk enclosures that plug into it), the low power
| consumption and the range of software available, it makes for 
| a pretty compelling little Linux server, particularly for
| developers.

Hardware Review: Bubba - The Linux-Based Mini Server

,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft would like you to think that their new Home Server products
| are something new; affordable devices that sit quietly in the corner
| of your home, providing network backup for your most important files,
| and streaming your media around your home. While Home Server is
| definitely a new approach for Microsoft, it's a niche that their
| nemesis Linux has been filling for some time. If Microsoft wanted
| a masterclass on how to craft their latest assault of consumers'
| homes, they should look to Excito and their Bubba Mini Server.
