Maybe it's worth setting up your own hosting server and domain name like FPC has done? You will be in full control and free to do as you please. I'm considering doing something similar in the near future. I want to by one of those cheap embedded PC's that should be more than powerful enough for my work load and traffic - plus the power consumption and noise level will be very good. Here is an email I sent a few weeks back to my boss about using embedded / ARM based PC boards for our current business too. ----------------[ forward ]------------------------------ There is a non-profit organization in the UK developing an ARM based PC board. Basically in layman terms, it is a damn small PC - currently the size of a business card, but plans are to make it as small as a USB stick. What is even better, is the suggested price range: $25!!! or around £15! What a bargain! The "hard drive" is a simple and cheap SD Card which comes in sizes from 1GB to 32GB or so. I think this device has HUGE potential in our Master Maths/Science centres. A really small PC with no movable parts, thus very robust. It has rather fast processing power (as you can see from the video clips), and is dirt cheap! Simply duck-tape the Rasberry Pi "pc" to the back of a LCD monitor, and you have your own homebru "iMac clone" for a fraction of the cost. :-) Anyway, I think we should seriously keep an eye on this project. http://www.osnews.com/story/25108/Raspberry_Pi_ARM_Board_Demonstrated_Running_Quake_III http://www.osnews.com/story/25147/Raspberry_Pi_Playing_1080p_Video Specifications: * 700MHz ARM11 * 128MB or 256MB of SDRAM * OpenGL ES 2.0 * 1080p30 H.264 high-profile decode * Composite and HDMI video output * USB 2.0 * SD/MMC/SDIO memory card slot * General-purpose I/O * Optional integrated 2-port USB hub and 10/100 Ethernet controller * Open software (Ubuntu, Iceweasel, KOffice, Python) ---------------------------------------------- Regards, - Graeme - -- fpGUI Toolkit - a cross-platform GUI toolkit using Free Pascal http://fpgui.sourceforge.net/ _______________________________________________ MSEide-MSEgui-talk mailing list MSEide-MSEgui-talk@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/mseide-msegui-talk
