Re: [Astlinux-users] So what should I think for hardware forAstLinux now?

[<ast...@el...>]

Thank you for pointing out the net5501. Sounds like it will be available
in the March/April time frame, compared to the summer time frame for the
WRAP follow-on. I guess it's safe to assume AstLinux 0.5 will be
supporting those two upcoming platforms.

I was poking around looking for VIA based devices similar to the Soekris
and WRAP though, but it seems an awful lot of VIA stuff that an ordinary
consumer can buy has unnecessary stuff, like VGA, PS/2, and extra serial
ports. Do people here have any particular VIA recommendations for a WRAP
style board with 3 ethernet ports and a miniPCI slot, preferably fanless
with a CF slot?
