A nice personal server for the geeks

Linux for Devices recently published an article on NorTec’s Gecko Surfboard. Not only does it consume just 5 watts, but it’s also fanless and costs $99. Granted it’s a bit anorexic on 1.0 GHz, but for a personal/low-traffic server, I believe it’s more than enough (this server’s running on P3-733MHz/384MB).
Enterprises can also use this – mostly as a sanbox server for your dev teams, or go LTSP (I’m looking at you Call Center SysAdmins).
