Hello list! As I'd like to have a small server at home for various purposes and Linux experiments but don't want to purchase a whole computer, I'd be very interested in an embedded PC from Soekris. I'd like to install Debian Linux on it which is my prefered Linux distribution really. Well, this won't be my first embedded PC actually, I purchased an Alix 2c2 from PCEngines a few months ago and tried to install Debian on the Compact Flash card using the computer, however I couldn't boot the device. I even purchased an IDE2CF adapter that let me connect a Compact Flash card to an IDE BUS directly which I did, but still it didn't work out. The PCEngines support is very bad I must say and replies to my questions were often to short or just rude and it was clear that the only guy who seems to work for this company has no idea about the stuff that he's selling, so I decided to return the components purchased by PCEngines. As I've heard many good things about Soekris and their products, I'm very interested in buying one of their embedded PCs. All I need is 1 or 2 network interfaces, 512 MB RAM, 500GHZ CPU and a serial console interface. Can anyone here suggest a model that suits me? Also, has anyone been able to install a Linux distribution such as Debian without compiling and all that? In this case, I'd apreciate if someone could tell me what he / she did because I'd really like to get started with a working embedded PC and don't have another Linux system available for compiling and so on. Thanks in advance for any help! Robin
