    That has potential to be an entry-level super-computer ;).

    Is it a pre-configured PXE server?

    That's sexy.

    sexy indeed but its a tad bit more expensive, you have to buy a starter kit which is €249 and the unit is €99 and to top it off shipping @ €37.

    Nice but too pricey for such a small unit.

    I'd love something like this that's useful as a thin client.

    Ethernet, maybe wireless. PS/2 or some USB. VGA...

    sorry my bad :(
    but it is small
    A 57.6Kbps SLIP line connects the server to a Linux host, which serves as a bridge between SLIP and an ethernet LAN.
