I did not. In fact both HDMI and Displayport outputs worked fine. I also tried the system on a 2560x1440 monitor, that worked as well. I did not test audio, didn't do very much desktop stuff. Firefox and xterm work fine. I still need to spend some time on learning how to install another

I'm a fan of the ASUS Chromebox hardware, specifically the M004U with the Celeron 2955U processor. Comes with 2 GB of RAM, and 16GB SSD. It typically retails for $160 USD. I have a couple running Linux (HTPC and a desktop for my kids). I picked up a third one on black friday for $110 just to

I have one of those. Ran pfSense on it for 9 months and worked great, until one of the built-in NICs died. I've since repurposed the system as a Xen host, the last NIC hasn't died yet, but I can't really recommend it. -Gene On Wed, Dec 3, 2014 at 10:30 AM, Chester T. Field
