I know, I know, everybody is telling me I'm crazy to use the Touch as a server, and they are most likely right. For now, the Touch works perfectly for me as a server, for zero additional cost and minimal additional power. But I suspect I may get to that eventually, especially if I start adding other SB devices... Actually, rather than using one of these low power servers, I personally would use a Linux netbook, that would give me both a server and a UI in a single low power box. Moreover, because it's a higher volume product, in theory it's cheaper and more tested. We were supposed to have ARM netbooks by now, I wonder where they are...
