He's right too.... For $25 (blame inflation) you can have a HP t5740 thin client. They're a Intel dual core atom N280 CPU at 1.6 GHz with 1 GB ram and 2 GB flash disk. I've used one as a firewall, using vlans on the gigabit ethernet port. They have VGA and Display port, but I've not had both working at once outside of windows. 7 USB2 ports, and an internal SATA connector too. There's an internal PCIe slot but it would need some creative case hacking to make it accessible. I had these running Android x86 4.4 fine, as well as debian linux. They'll come either blank or with windows XP embedded or similar. There's a power supply included of course, but it probably needs a mains power cable, likely to be a cloverleaf.

The best thing - they're totally SILENT, and they only use a dozen watts. Any questions ask directly and I'll summarise. -- Criggie http://criggie.org.nz/ _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Linux-users@lists.canterbury.ac.nz http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
