Mini pc running linux

mower · 8th January 2005, 11:37 AM

I am looking to buy a mini pc to run as a linux box. My problem is I don't want to buy one only to find out I can't get the hardware to work properly in linux, excluding any facy front pannel support. Does anyone know of a one that can do this, or know of one that is currently linux with no problems this? I would be putting on Debian, or maybe Free BSD

Thanks

Do you care to dabble with PPC binaries? I know of one mini-pc being launched later this month that would be perfect.

thanks for the replys.

I have ended up buying a mini pc form pluscorp, oh and also a overclockers mug

(sips coffee) and have install fedora core 2 on my asus notebook with no problems yet. I have has freeBSD on there, but I'm liking the ease of fedora.

The mini pc is now my main computer

it rocks.
