HI everybody,
Check this link: http://www.dataevolution.com/dectop%20info%202.htm
This company bought the assets to the AMD PIC (personal internet computer). They're selling it for $99, or three for $299.
Yes, it runs Linux. Here is one person's experience: http://jsco.org/dectop/
I wonder if this machine would make a good LTSP thin client...hummmmm. Perhaps a topic for a future WLUG meeting?
See ya later,
Andy
I remember reading about this when it came out a few years ago. It was intended for the same market that OLPC is now aiming for. Hence the rugged "big mac" case. :) Of course it lacks a monitor. A few others to consider, Nicer form factor, but slower CPU (166MHz), no HD: http://linuxdevices.com/news/NS6828123924.html http://www.norhtec.com/products/mcjr/index.html USB 2.0, but pricier (price listed in Euros): http://www.linutop.com/ Consumer variant of OLPC XO1, whenever it comes out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASUS_Eee_PC Not to discourage you - the PIC looks like a fun little box! -Jamie
