Dear Lazyweb, I’m looking for a tiny computer.
It’s not uncommon to catch me unnecessarily lugging around a full laptop most of the time, and I’m kinda tired of doing so. I say unnecessarily because most of the time I really only use it for ssh’ing around anyway. Does anyone know of a modestly-sized computing device that can do some comparatively basic stuff?
I’m just looking for a reasonable trade-off between screen-readability and size.
Must haves:
- 802.11b or some way to add it (PCMCIA, USB, etc.)
- And a couple of active OpenSSH clients
Would-be-nice to have:
- 802.3i (10BASE-T Ethernet) Adaptability
- RS-232 / V.24 UART and a way to run some terminal stuff too
- RS-422/TIA-422 UART would be really cool, but probably a little obscure
- A black case.
Any ideas?
[...] Following up on my previous post on looking for a tiny computer, I think I’ve finally found something that just about fits the bill. [...]
