SheevaPlug: the NSLU2 killer
,----[ Quote ]
| I received a SheevaPlug this week, an intriguing device that packs incredible
| power and functionality into a tiny package. As many of you know, I've been
| doing a lot of work on Debian for the Linksys NSLU2 in the last few years.
| The NSLU2 is a key reason why ARM has become the third most popular
| architecture in Debian (after 32 and 64 bit x86), and I believe a main reason
| is that the NSLU2 is so incredibly cheap. At a price under $100, most people
| don't think too long and simply buy a device and do something cool with it.

Linux on a Gumstick -- A Tour of the Gumstix Overo
,----[ Quote ]
| When I first came across Gumstix, my jaw dropped. Gumstix are fully
| functional computer motherboards, the size of a gumstick or smaller, that run
| Linux. The latest in the Gumstix line, the Overo Earth, pushes the boundaries
| of ultra small computers -- and kicks some serious butt doing it.
|
| [...]
|
| The Overo comes with the Enlightenment Window Manager. Attach a mouse, and
| you now have a Linux box for your TV.
