Shuttle SS50 Mini-system

Jared writes: "Small Form Factor is taking off, Viahardware wrote a review on the new Shuttle SS PC. In a case about the size of a shoebox, you get Pentium 4 support, DDR memory, firewire, tv out etc. Great box for all kinds of uses like a media box for the living room, file server, gateway, LAN box. Slashdot posted about the SV24 last fall, and this is the follow up product. Very cool." We've looked at some other Shuttle systems before.

Re:I would love to buy one ...

You can. The SS40 answers your question.

Check out the even smaller mini-ITX platform

Check out the new mini-ITX platform that VIA has put together. Supposed to be fanless and under $100 with processor. If someone doesn't sit down and develop a Linux based set of appliance firmware, then Microsoft will fill yet another market. 3D will be damn cheap soon enough and will become part of these products.

Re:viahardware's server

Thank you, Having managed anandtech database servers for a time (I was part of the initial design team when he moved to a pure db format way back when) I have a little experience in this area. All of this traffic is being handled by two servers with an lvs load balancer in the middle. If anyone wants to chat about loaded webservers just gimme a shout.

8100 realtek = 8139 realtek

[Indy1]

the 8100 is basically the same as the 8139, its simply a motherboard version of the 8139. So i think you can just use the 8139 driver in linux.

If the kernel driver doesnt work, try the driver posted below, its a direct link to realtek's linux driver
