Here’s an awesome tiny linux box called SheevaPlug, basically super-tiny Linux box running on ARM processor and minimal hardware. The linux box can connect easily to your network and USB devices while only using 5 watts of power.
This will be a great tool for linux tinkerers and hackers, who should be able to make most of this device.
I can already think of dozen ideas on how to apply this for security systems, alarm systems, etc…etc…
The platform is built using Marvell’s Kirkwood series system-on-chip (SoC) desi
Asus is working on their new Linux box that looks like wii.
* As per our previous speculation, an official launch of the Eee Box will indeed take place on June 3rd at Computex in Taiwan. Hardly surprising given the show is in Taiwan, the home of Asus and many a computing manufacturer. * Specs wise, our source told us the machines would be launching with 2GB RAM as standard, along with a 160GB hard drive – obviously not an SSD. * These new machines will be running the same Linux distro found on the Eee PCs – no bad thing by our reckoning
