Holger mentioned the Plat'Home machines recently featured on<br>
Slashdot... Wad and myself looked at the specs recently. Overall, they<br>
are good, I think the summary is:<br>
<br>
- Good kit - sealed, fanless, flash RAM, lots to like...<br>
- RAM ceiling is too low. 512MB would be the minimum workable RAM right now.<br>
- Shifts the "problem spot" to the ext HD.<br>
<br>
At the end of the day, they are not that different from running the XS<br>
from an XO-1 HW platform. The upside is that you have ethernet ports,<br>
the shared limitation is that you have no internal HD and very limited<br>
RAM.<br>
<br>
If those same machines could be ordered with RAM ranging from 512 to<br>
2GB... instant love ;-) -- add a fanless ext USB drive enclosure and<br>
run run run.<br>
