I love the atom chips! And the dual are even better. I've replaced most of my servers at home that used to sit in the rack and run all the time sucking up energy with some little atom systems. Running everything from my openVPN portal to my Asterisk system. Plus I use the openVPN system as my "home shell" that can start up the big beasts that run my ESXi images through WOL (which I did finally get working). In addition I can fire up my rack of routers with the remote power system and connect to them through conserver and the USB serial cards. I dropped my power bill running all of that all the time by over 100$ a month. Atom procs are great for very specific purposes, I'm not sure I'd be super happy living on one all the time but my little Netbook does an OK job running Ubuntu and playing various media. It does start to kack on the full HD movies and stuff though. --j On Fri, Apr 22, 2011 at 9:43 AM, Mark Katerberg <mark.katerberg at gmail.com>wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On 04/21/2011 09:37 PM, Mr. B-o-B wrote: > > Has anyone seen one of these? > > > > http://www.commodoreusa.net/CUSA_C64.aspx > > > > Not sure the price of these, but I might just have to get one for old > > times sake. > > I wrote my first program on a Commodore 64!

The single Atom in my netbook was pretty unusable. > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ > > iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJNsZP1AAoJEBF2KQmTgevXlBcH/jFcd8w57lCIKjASeGSwXp4e > hb+FFITT9Ww1SSNOmDRYkHOTt6pFZmKqIoQKR2cLLVLnjk2lhRJA7jE7lZt8Ogzc > RwV1X5mfyHTLBy9GE2z8QtyfmuT+h10sAgsQgBpTcOr6WSue5iOuiR9VmbZmpovJ > 7WS4iETR7X5msRbrmkrgs05TeA7GlDVMBAJZEp2KiS15sZtsjWG4FGEda+C6AJpi > WXli5PudTBJPfJRgKSvmv0dtqDgBhR3zACy92QO+GVsbAIGzMyD9+AVzj3AZxaKy > tZT5pfZXTzOHlrcErFkfGphgz640IhEqchvIgfoYMczo31CzjBOocf8mpx6d+2E= > =KTxz > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > _______________________________________________ > TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > tclug-list at mn-linux.org > http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
