Unless you have minimalistic power requirements and really need the Seokris' 12-15W vs a netbooks 40-50W draw. Advantages, at least compared to my Soekris net4801, are integrated screen,keyboard and UPS and much better network throughput via ural(4) or similar versus the built in sis(4) of the net4801. If power is a major concern you can shut down the LCD assuming you can get APCI working correctly. -- ESP ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

It's a great one and I made an uptime of 500 days with FreeBSD 8.1 the last year :-). It does not consumes a lot of power ressources neither. However I advise only network gateway / firewall / wifi access uses point because of the small RAM available. It works out of the box with FreeBSD, only ACPI need to be disabled (for a date issue only).
