That was my experiense when shopping around yes - annoying as I don't need anything particularly low power (it ain't going to be my leccy bill :-). > becomes a more likely failure point, and so on.

It needs to be: 1) Complete as purchased - I dont want to build a machine 2) Capable of having a simple boot device (e.g. CF card) dropped in 3) At least one ether port. 100 meg will do. 4) Small enough to be posted to the end user 5) Cheap - under 400 euros, preferably 300 I do not really care about processor speed, or memory, or power consumption. It needs to run FreeBSD, and I would prefer amd64 as we havent written or used any of our code on 32 bit in a long time, and I would feel uneasy that there might be laten bugs in it if we simply recompiled it for 32 bit. > I bought one of these from them last year: > http://www.fit-pc.com/new/fit-pc-1-0-specifications.html Thanks for the links - thats pretty interesting! I notice the newer ones are also Atom based, so similarly spec'd to what I was looking at, but they may be more suitable. cheers, -pete. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
