Strictly speaking, Vortexbox is the operating system (based on Fedora Linux). It can be installed on any x86 computer. The hardware system that is sold through http://vortexbox.org/buy and Amazon is called a "Vortexbox Appliance", or VBA for short.
Also note that this is essentially the "small form factor" pc that I mentioned in my earlier post. In fact, for my current server I bought the exact same hardware as the Vortexbox Appliance (minus the optical drive), installed my own OS (debian) and paid only a little more than one-half of what they charge for a Vortexbox Appliance. If you want something that works straight out of the box, then a VBA is fine, but if you are willing to do some of the work yourself you can save some money. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100899 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
