Hi, Well, from looking at the webpage, I'd have to say that the Lantronix part is not the same as a gumstix. The two devices seem to be aimed at to very different market segments. The Lantronix device seems to be designed to network enable a system that currently only has a serial port. I see that as a quick fix for a person or company that wants to add that one single feature without doing significant hardware and software redesign of an existing system. The gumstix device is significantly more general purpose, and really makes the most sense as the foundation upon which to base a new design. The rich feature set of Linux combined with the flexibility of many different hardware expansion options and openness of the development community make the things you can do with a gumstix limited only by your imagination and spare time. I hope that wasn't completely useless advice/opinion/information!
