Are you X86 centric? You can get a Macintosh "mini" from Yeda for about $700+VAT. It has a 1.4gHz PPC processor, 256m of RAM (may be up to 512 now) and an 80 gig hard drive, 2 USB 2 ports, firewire, ethernet and a DVI video port that comes with a VGA adaptor. A 1.2gHz version with a 40gig drive is about $100 less. It comes with an open source BSD UNIX operating system with a closed source GUI, and can also run YellowDog or FC4 Linux. It is not designed to run on batteries, but AFIK it has a standard power connector and only takes one DC voltage and people do it. All you need to use it is an outlet, VGA monitor and USB keyboard and mouse, Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
