Building a 15W Debian GNU/Linux system
,----[ Quote ]
| After all I'm satisfied with the system.
| Without any fan the CPU constantly runs at
| 55ÂC, which is okay, given that it must operate
| within 0 and 90 ÂC according to the tech specs.
| The system and the disk are somewhat lower (47
| and 39ÂC). The power of this system is more
| then enough. Its booting quick and working with
| it works without latencies, even when the
| system is doing something. What I haven't yet
| tested is weither the power consumption
| actually fulfills the expactations. I will do
| so, once I got a wattmeter.

Shuttle XS29f: Linux Looks Great in Green
,----[ Quote ]
| Power and space saving computers are in, and Shuttle has a winner with the
| XS29F. This little gem really skimps on the power consumption to the tune of
| around 20-25 watts on average. That's less than half of that 60-watt light
| bulb shining down on you right now. For the Do It Yourselfer (DIYer) on a
| budget this box makes a lot of sense.
