[MLB-WIRELESS] The Space Cube

[Simon (NodeIRC)]

"The Space Cube is the world's smallest personal computer. The unbelievably
minuscule cube (2 x 2 x 2.2 inch case) packs 300 MHz CPU and 64 MB of SDRAM.
The Space Cube offers a healthy number of ports, including USB, Ethernet,
flash memory, monitor port, Space wire, serial connection, and microphone.
This micro PC runs on a Linux named Atom Linux. Shimafuji, the manufacturer
of the Space Cube, has recently released the SEMC5701A, which is slightly
smaller than its predecessor. The Japanese have assembled a personal
computer that fits in your pocket. "

My Synopsis:
Depending on the cost, this could make a very nice basic servers to
complement our OpenWRT linux routers, especially in remote installations
where space may be limited. It should be used as a Web Server, Mail Server,
DHCP Server, DNS Server, RADIUS Server, Login Server (ie: Node_AAA) or
Content Filtering Server, etc

If Disk Space were an issue, you could install a 4GB CompactFlash hard
drive, or an external USB hard drive
