Leveraging Linux for SMB's ... AND the home???

Is Dell then BEHIND the curve???

Japan's Plat'Home launching palm-sized Linux server in U.S.

Part of the first ecology-friendly line of Linux servers ever shipped in the United States, Plat'Home's OpenBlockS server has been built and tested to provide enterprise-grade reliability in its RISC-based hardware, and has eliminated moving parts including a hard disk drive and cooling fan. It is also RoHS-certified, a European Union directive meaning that it's free of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and other damaging materials.

Apr 2		 i don't know if i'm just not looking hard enough or what but i can't find these out here

but either way, good idea. not too hard to get the power of a 10 year old desktop from a machine that small, if not even more than that
