</div>Well....my SheevaPlug is in my former company in England and I am now<br>
working in Paris so I don't have a chance to play with it until I go<br>
back over there to get drunk with my ex-colleagues...and fetch the<br>
baby !<br>
<br>
The fit-pc 2 is a nice low power thingy as well....except for the<br>
poulsbo graphic chipset which is a nightmare.....so I use it as a<br>
headless server !<br>
<br>
Anyway thanks Stuart keep up the good work I can't wait to try<br>
armedslack on my Plug !<br>

<br>Yes, the Acer Aspire one 11.6 has the new 11.6 LED backlit display. If I can get it to boot off the SD card, I will have a netbook that should run 8 hours or so off the battery [going with the led lcd, that added 2 hours to the battery run time - just changing the display].<br>
<br>Ok, this is off-topic for the armedslack list. Maybe I start a netslack list that centers around netbook thin client implementations...<br><br>Can't wait 'till I have the pocket change to order my open-rd dev boxen... whoot!<br>
