[Klug-general] Cheap Fanless Linux Box

[Andrew Spode Miller]

Hello,

Thought this might interest some people.

£40 for an ARM based computer with Gigabit ethernet, 3 USB ports and
128MB of RAM.

SSH server pre-installed. Login, and run the script from here:

After 20 minutes, you have a Debian Squeeze install. From there, you
have a highly flexible, low power consumption (15W) server to do with
whatever you will.

Add the debian-multimedia repositories and you can even set it up as a
mythtv-backend using a USB TV Tuner.

For the money, I thought I'd have a play. Plugged in a USB VGA adapter
and had it working as a desktop - not exactly it's intended use, but
illustrated to me how cool it was :)
