Gumstix overo on a tobi board is a good candidate; we're working on getting it going nicely at bap9ug. You get USB, ethernet, DVI-D, and audio. As of now it's *booting* but I don't think graphics are quite there yet. It's extremely tiny, though, which is a major benefit, and it netboots just fine. As Erik pointed out elsewhere in the thread, the Overo chips are NOT fast but hey, it's a Plan 9 terminal. Except when you're compiling ghostscript (ugh), you'll probably never notice. John
