Alix are 10/100 ethernet, but pcengines.ch has a newer board called the APU that might be worth looking at. Three gigE interfaces, coreboot, and a few mini-PCIe slots as well. About $150 for the apu1d4 + a case and shipping. http://pcengines.ch/apu.htm http://pcengines.ch/order1.php?c=4 I don't actually have any first-hand experiences with the APU, but I'm looking for an excuse. -- Russell Senior, President [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
