Gordon, I believe this will change markedly as netbooks/mini-notebooks enter the used computer market in significant numbers. -- Mike Noyes <mhnoyes at users.sourceforge.net> http://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes/ SF.net Projects: leaf, sourceforge/sitedocs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

The thing about these boxes however is that you can only add hardware by plugging in USB devices. So how many USB network devices are actually supported? And what kind of conflicts could rise if I'd connect multiple NICs through a USB hub?

Gordon, I looking for an equivalent to the used 486 market. Ubiquitous and cheap to free when used. I think the netbook/mini-notebook with Intel Atom processor will fit this mold. My main concern is the installed Wi-Fi (drivers & access point mode). The other thing that concerns me is disabling suspend etc., when the lid is closed. > The thing about these boxes however is that you can only add hardware > by plugging in USB devices.

I thought most of this was taken care of in the early days of usbnet. http://www.linux-usb.org/usbnet/ -- Mike Noyes <mhnoyes at users.sourceforge.net> http://sourceforge.net/users/mhnoyes/ SF.net Projects: leaf, sourceforge/sitedocs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
