Question Compact Linux devices?

Hello

I'm interested in compact, fanless devices to run Linux. It should have at least 512MB of RAM, support for CompactFlash or SD cards, and USB + Ethernet plugs.

Besides the SheevaPlug, are there other devices I should know about?

Thank you.

And I’ll keep using Linux until they pry it from my cold dead fingers.

Have just spent the afternoon searching for this sort of thing.

Been using a laptop to remote monitor/act as a jump box into a customers network, hardware wise really just want two Ethernet ports. If there are any more hardware suggestions, I'd definitely be interested.

I will convert these guys I work with to Linux =)

I would also try Compulab.co.il

They have a bunch of solutions. We are currently using one in the company I work for. I am not quite sure about their tech support though. They do take a lot of time to respond sometimes. It might just be the fact that they are located in Israel.

Someone has actually put an entire Linux system in a USB thumb drive, including CPU and OS. I'm trying to find my reference to it. I'll post another message on this thread when I find it (if still available).

Haven't found that one (Linux on a Thumb Drive), but this is interesting: Bug Labs Store: Product Catalog
