fortune _fill_in_the_blank has no bearing whatsoever.  I've used RT for a
few things and it's worked out.  If you aren't happy with anything that
exists... make your own.

p.s. the rt mailing list is pretty active with progressive results.

this has nothing to do with openbsd.

 No, but the general implication with these X is used by Fortune 9000
 endorsements is that their selection process/judgment/whatnot is
 obviously superior, so if they use something, it has to be good.
 Really, it has no bearing on anything.  Just a pet peeve, and it
 seemed especially discordant now.

since when does fortune _ _ _ _ _ have policy?

Seriously, production is a joke.

 Conversely, if a F100 company actually uses any open source software,
 given the moronic things in place (for example, the current place
 *must have* paid support for anything in production use, no matter
 _how_ small, for example, syslog-ng), it should be seen that it was
 implemented *IN SPITE* of corporate policies.  This means that piece
 of software is that good, or the people implementing it were that good
 that they could push something like this through.

Heres a pic of a portion of the eee keyboard (excuse the crappy photo):

Not sure if this is completely useful... but here is a comparison on the
size of the eee and an old fujitsu lifebook

Re: alix help

Whatever you do, do NOT attempt to update bios by sending a file over a
console session.  Screwed up my bios and had to have pc engines send me a
rescue bios chip and bootable cf card.  Once obtaining the latest bios I
just plugged in a cf to ide converter and continued as if it was a normal
install.

If you're looking for a single board computer using compact
flash...I've had good luck with my ALIX 2c3
http://pcengines.ch/alix2c3.htm

Alix boards seem to be cheaper than soekris.

I'm happy with it.

 so im looking for a recommendation of a small form computer

 can fund myself a soekris

 requirements are simple:

 usb 2.0
 at least 1 pci slot free or 2 built in ethernet ports
