[Server-devel] hardware for servers

[s.boutayeb at free.fr]

Hi Sameer,

We (OLPC France) are considering small, rugged and inexpensive boards/enclosures
for an operation as XS server with some (to be defined) services assigned to a
standard XS server:

- Ultra Mobile XO Server (
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects/UltraMobileXOServer )

- Soekris

- PC Engines (http://pcengines.ch/ ), based on ALIX system boards (
http://pcengines.ch/alix.htm )


Best regards,

Samy

> DDR-SDRAM main memory and uses a CompactFlash module for program and
> data storage. It can be expanded using a MiniPCI type III board, a hard
> drive and one or two low-power standard PCI boards.
