1.2 GHz ARM Processor
512MB RAM
512MB Flash
1 USB2.0 port
1 Gigabit port
Things this hardware is generally not optimized for:
Web server
Backup server
Databases
Email server
Firewall
Things I could see a box like this doing:
Embedded web server applications
DHCP server
Webcam image capture/forwarding
Print server
Temperature or other sensor monitoring/forwarding
* An "always on" SSH point, from which you can wake up other
machines via Wake-On-Lan
I see this as a special-purpose machine, similar to the Linksys NSLU2 boxes
except with more RAM and Flash, and a faster processor.
