Linutop 2 super small desktop PC
,----[ Quote ]
| If you need a standalone machine to drive an interactive display, a digital
| noticeboard or some other non-performance critical role, then the Linutop 2
| is ideal, and about half the price of a Windows XP Embedded thin client. It's
| simple, tough and uses only a trickle of power. Set Firefox to load at bootup
| with a custom homepage and all it would take is some HTML for a customised
| display – with little or no Linux knowledge needed and no need for a server
| to boot off. Alternatively, rewrite or replace the OS and embed the whole box
| into your product to top things off.

| Just because Linutop is based on Linux, it doesn’t mean it’s difficult to
| configure. In fact, the little machine comes with a custom Linutop Setup
| applet which allows you to configure virtually every aspect of the system in

Tiny Silent Linux PC Gets Updated
,----[ Quote ]
| In 2007 we ran a story on the tiny linux PC The Linutop. Now the diminutive
| system has hit version 2.4 and with it an official launch in the UK. The
| pint-sized, open source Linux PC is designed to run silently and is highly
| energy efficient at just 8 watts.
|
| "Linutop, a leading European company which specialises in providing small
| Linux PCs for businesses and the public sector, today announced its UK launch
| of Linutop 2.4. The pint-sized, open source Linux PC is designed to run
| silently and is highly energy efficient. Due to its small size and low
| maintenance requirements, the Linutop 2.4 is the ideal solution for internet
| kiosks, network monitoring and digital displays.

USB Linux key targets netbooks

| French mini-PC vendor Linutop announced a version of its Ubuntu 8.4-based
| Linux distribution on a USB key targeting Asus Eee PCs. The key (pictured) is
| based on its small-footprint Linutop 2.2 distro, which is designed for
| ultra-low-powered systems such as its own Linutop 2 mini-PC.

Linutop 2.2: A desktop where smaller is better
,----[ Quote ]
| Linutop has a lot going for it: solid build quality, adequate software
| bundle, extremely low power consumption, and the easy-to-use configuration
| utility. With its €280 (approx. $435) price tag, Linutop is not the cheapest
| machine out there, but the money buys you one of the smallest and greenest
| computers on the market.

Review: Think small with Linutop 2
,----[ Quote ]
| Shipped from Paris, the Linutop 2 costs $440 plus $40 for delivery and
| arrives in about a week. Linutop 2 will never be a performance PC for video
| editing, CAD or gaming, but is perfect for most office and personal uses that
| don't require Windows software. Neither too big, nor too small, Linutop 2 is
| just right.

Lean, green, open source machine

| size also means that it is suitable to be embedded in cars, airplanes or
| boats, or in a digital signage offering.

Linutop Mini Linux PC Reviewed - Damn Small Linux Hardware
,----[ Quote ]
| The Linutop is a small Linux PC. Of course, if you think the Mac Mini is
| small, then perhaps the words, incredibly miniscule are closer to the mark.
|
| Running a customised version of xubuntu Linux, this little box could replace
| your desktop for most common tasks, including what you're doing right now.
|
| And if this wasn't impressive enough in a box slightly larger than a Nintendo
| DS, the Linutop does it all drawing a maximum of 5 watts - That's less than
| an energy saver light bulb!

Linutop v1.2: low-power Linux desktop Revisited

| Tech reviews are very much a snapshot process, making a decision after a
| relatively short period of time and of a single incarnation of the product.
| Useful, yes, but not an exact facsimile of living with something day in, day
| out that you’ve bought yourself.

SlashGear Review: Linutop's fanless Linux PC
,----[ Quote ]
| Much to my shame, Linux is something of a mystery to me. Actually,
| I think they should teach at least the basics of it in school
| computing classes, alongside English and at least one foreign
| language (though don't ask me about my French abilities either), but
| this is neither time nor place for my election campaigning. And so I
| look on with maudlin self-disgust at promises of Dell laptops with
| Linux pre-installed, or clever thumb-drives and Live CDs that offer
| a chance to fiddle with the OS without ruining your everyday copy of
| Windows; I inevitably fold when faced with some sort of command
| prompt. Perhaps, then, you?ll wonder why I was so keen to try the
| Linutop, a surprisingly compact and silent diskless computer that
| runs a specially tweaked version of xubuntu.
