 Quote: It's about the size of an AC to DC converting wall outlet plug, but is really a full SoC with a 1200 MHz CPU, built-in 512 MB Flash, 512 MB DRAM, Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0 support. http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/41525/136/ Mix it with network via mains and you could have all in one. Configuration could be a problem though with no video output! |

Now that is very nice, I can't quite see how you would get the os installed initially, but the mind boggles at the possibilities. |

you need to learn more about networking mate  NAT`ing on the ingress and egress interface is a bad idea. its not secure to do it on the same eth as a crafted packet can still get through is ok ill stick this router in there as well - still low power |

I thought it was an ethernet over power thing.  So apart from the form factor, what's the diff between THAT and an old PC lying around gathering dust?
