Not with these, sorry. I know somebody who owns a "fit-PC 2" [1], which is really cool in terms of power consumption. It is cool as a device, as well, but I don't know how easy it is to get a free driver running on it (it has one of the few graphics chips that don't come with a free driver by intel :(). The Jetway J8F9 [2] is a really cute device, it doesn't consume a lot of power neither, and it does run with free drivers. But it is really slow --- resulting from its Geode CPU. The Cirrus7 One [3, sorry: link in German] looks really neat to me. It comes with GNU/Linux preinstalled. Does anyone know whether it runs well with free drivers? Oh yeah, there are many nice devices running with free software... ...and I am not answering your questions ;) The thing I'd love to see: A cool low power somewhat embedded GNU/Linux PC with an ARM CPU --- there would be plenty of them on the market already, if people wouldn't always demand proprietary Windows... :/ Regards, micu ================================== [1] <http://linux.bigga.de/blog/blog-post/2010/05/15/tiny-fit-pc-2-replacing-old-desktop-pc/> [2] <http://linux.bigga.de/blog/blog-post/2009/05/25/using-xorg-geode-driver-on-jetway-j8f9/> [3] <http://www.linux-community.de/Internal/Artikel/Print-Artikel/LinuxUser/2011/05/Kleiner-und- leiser-Mini-PC-mit-Ubuntu-Support> -- GnuPG: https://www1.inf.tu-dresden.de/~s3418892/micuintus.asc Fingerprint: 1A15 A480 1F8B 07F6 9D12 3426 CEFE 7455 E4CB 4E80 <<</>> http://www.micuintus.de _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
