[Ltsp-discuss] Other uses for 386/486

[Scott Sherrill]

It seems to me that further use could be squeezed out of 386's and early 486's but perhaps not as a graphical workstation.

Ideas floating around my head:

* wireless base stations - I would think you'd have better (central) management tools with Linux than you would with Belkin/D-Link stations....and you could replace components as they fail. Not as small and pretty as the base stations, but price is about the same (cheaper with a good e*bay shopper) for a wireless isa as a belkin station.

* edge snort boxes?

* public (at least inside the institution) palm sync stations?

* x10 stuff (although what I have no idea)

* mini web servers?

Anybody doing exciting things with x86 ISA boxes that don't involve workstations? Is there value in any of the above ideas?
