I have a Pogo Plug device has 1.2 GHz ARM, 512MB RAM, 128MB NAND flash, 1 Ethernet and 4 USB ports. Totally solid state, under 5W power draw and runs Debian nicely. Retails for $40, not sure about availability in India. I have a 1TB USB HDD and wifi dongle hooked up to it. Newer versions include eSATA and wifi. Not as powerful as Atom but it's good for a mini-NAS and home use. - Raja _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
