- From looking at the site it would appear that you could boot from USB
flash.  I am familiar with initrd since all the kernels I build boot
from initrd first.

Honestly my biggest problem is finding a problem for this to solve.  I
have a very particular perspective on computing, which revolves around
networking and commodity PC hardware.  This is a newish world to me
(OpenWRT, NSLU2, and the Hauppauge MVP notwithstanding).

Anyway, for the hardware, I will probably go with whatever Mark gets
(clock and temperature addons as well).
