[Robert L. Harris]

  Note, I'm not attacking the system at all.  Hope I didn't come off that
way.  I don't know enoug about it's specs and probably wouldn't anyway
if I did.  I just found some irony in the opensource tux with likely
non-interchangable/upgradable hardware.  

I enjoy the humor of irony, I just don't understand it alot of the time.



Thus spake Christopher R. Curzio (ale at accipiter.org):

> It's an embedded system in a case designed for it. You almost never find embedded platforms that have interchangable core components. This is not a surprise.

> Think of this case more as a proof of concept than a consumer product.
