Does anyone here have any experience of the Fit PC 2 ? They are getting almost reasonably priced now - CPC have the Linux one for £285 (plus VAT) which for a really tiny and low powered machine isn't at all bad.
Power consumption is 5 watts, it has 1Gb of memory and a 160Gb hard disk and Gigabit ethernet. It would thus seem to be quite a good basis for various Linux based "boxes on the network". It comes with Ubuntu 8.04 installed.
Can I be nosey and ask what your intended use for this will be please?
I like the idea of a low power box and had thought about one as doing various things like fetching/storing mail and providing some sort of backup medium although I'm far from sure how this might work, hence the question.
