I've no experience with this unit, but it looks like it might meet 
your needs:


 
Great looking system.  Would be wonderful to know its bogomips rating.  
And the fan is not so nice...


Will dig more into this.  THANKS.

No, it shouldn't. I just wanted to make you (or others) aware of that.

Cheers,

For a mainboard, you might want to look into the Intel D201GLY2 -
. Although
the Xorg hardware driver needs a patch, AFAIR. Well, there is always
VESA if you don't need xvideo ...

[CentOS] Recommend a mini or nano ITX system for Centos

[Robert Moskowitz]

I am looking into convising the boss to get me a mini-itx system to 
replace my workhorse notebook (I have to have a corp notebook and I can 
remote terminal into a Centos server from it).


So I have been playing with one mini-itx system (the decTOP) and am 
looking at my options.


I want a fast processor, 1Gb memory, LAN, 4USB, VGA.  Wireless and 
bluetooth optional USB dongles along with a second LAN interface).  PCI 
slot optional (for said wireless, bluetooth or LAN!).


Smallest footprint and power draw are the other key factors.  As well as 
being able to run Centos and maybe also being able to go into memory or 
swap suspend!  External power supply so I can use an alternate battery 
powerpak on the road.  It would be s neat if I could put it in a 
pocket!  The nano-itx boards almost make that possible.  For a drive I 
would be using either a 8gb CF micro harddrive or perhaps an ipod drive 
with an IDE interface (something I have to learn more about).


So what do you know about nano and mini ITX compatiblity to Centos.  And 
complete systems?
