[RULE] Mini-ITX boards, VIA EPIA platfrorm

[Vadim Plessky]

Does someone has experience with Linux (any kind of it) and Mini-ITX boards, 
and/or VIA EPIA platfrorm, as presented on:

I think that selling/buying platforms like this is better step than buying & 
installing minimalist Linux distro on old hardware
(see  "[RULE] Sell RULE computers on ebay?" thread)

I know that one company here (K-Systems) is selling computer (they position it 
as "Windows terminal") priced at $270 level.
So, I would not be surprised if you can build PC on VIA EPIA platfrorm with 
cost of $150 or so.

NOTE that I beleive in minimalist systems/installs, and we should try to 
minimize waste of resources (memory, CPU, HDD) even in case we have enough 
such resources.
But new systems have ebtter compatibility with up-to-ate kerenl/XFree86 than 
4-year old laptops or desktops.
