Tiny PC

I can think of so many applications where a tiny PC like this one could be used for.

“The picotux 100 is the world’s smallest Linux computer, only slightly larger (35mm×19mm×19mm) than an RJ45 connector. Inside, there is an ARM7 CPU at 55 MHz running uClinux kernel 2.4.27 and Busybox 1.0. Two communication interfaces are provided, 10/100 Mbit half/full duplex Ethernet and a serial port with up to 230.400 baud. Five additional lines can be used for either general input/output or serial handshaking.”

  1. This is a electronic engineers dream: Small and powerful. Maybe the price could be better, but its ok so far.
    But when does the Windows version will be released? *G*
    (I’ve never engaged with Linux)


  2. ben: Sorry, it couldn’t run Windows. And if it could, it’d cost thousands.

    But yeah, the price is a bit ridiculous. Maybe once they get the production ball rolling, it’ll come down.


  3. I was just kidding about using Windows with it..
    The main problem would not be the licensing but the store capacity. I can see the advertising for this module:
    “Tiny PC comes with preinstalled 10GB HDD to run the OS” 🙂


  4. I think this is great. Imagine all the smart home automation you could do with one of these guys.



  5. Bah, you could make one that’ll run Win CE


  6. you could just use linksys nslu2 and install debian into it :))
