I do rather like the look of that desktop! But maybe I should have a hunt on ebay, as well. Maybe a new machine is a bit too much to spend on just a staging server.

You may also want to have a look at http://www.electronicsweekly.com/Articles/2010/08/13/46339/marvell-powers-up-arm-based-linux-pc-in-a-plug.htm if you just want a cheap little web-server that won't break the bank. I keep trying to justify getting one in my own mind just for the 'fun' of getting my hands on one :) Regards, Phill.

I keep trying to justify getting one in my own mind just for the 'fun' of getting my hands on one :) There is one just over there to my left. A decent little machine for £80 or so but I did find myself trying to find ways to justify it. It runs Ubuntu 9.04 but it's more trouble than it's worth to update it. It currently runs an IPv6 tunnel and squid. s/ -- Twitter: @sfgreenwood Is this your sanderling? -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

I can send the HP MicroServer (just replied myself suggesting it). Not tried the Aspire Revo but I have an eMachines ER1401 (which is a similar machine) and it too runs Ubuntu 10.04 really well (11.04 works but the wireless needs blacklisting otherwise it won't shut down properly).
