I have switched the N7XY node (n7xy.net, port 7300) from a PC to a
Sheevaplug Dev Kit <http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/p-22-
sheevaplug-dev-kit.aspx>. This runs Ubuntu 9.04 on a ARM processor
in the form factor of a large wall-wart [110mm (L) x 69.5mm (W) x
48.5 mm (H)] and draws only 19 watts. Since the plug only has 512 MB
of onboard flash, I am using a USB hard drive to provide enough space
for DX Spider (the debug and data files keep growing!). It's only an
internet connection for now, but I will be working on getting it
running on packet as well.
Bob, N7XY
