Subject: [simpdev] Tiny server


Here's a server with a hard drive and good connectivity near the price 
range of the Simputer. Somebody should start a business integrating 
the two.

OpenBrick is a small, light and silent open platform optimized for 
Open Source / Free Software solutions (firewall, micro-server, PABX, 
thin client, multimedia...). It is available for 300 to 400 EUR. It 
is distributed by a network of Open Source / Free Software companies 
who are joining through the OpenBrick Foundation to optimize it for 
GNU/Linux and FreeBSD, adapt it to new applications and improve its 
specifications. Join the OpenBrick Mailing List to share your 
experience and get the latest news updates from the OpenBrick 
community.

OpenBrick uses a low-power National Semiconductor Geode processor and 
Companion chip for which I edited the specs.

I'm always pleased when a piece of my work turns up in something like 
this.

OpenChassis, allows to host 7 OpenBricks in 1U rack. This should 
reduce the cost of dedicated hosting to 7 EUR / month and democratize 
dedicated hosting.
