Today I have ordered 6 different Systems using arm7, arm9, MIPS, Geode
and PentiumM System to test...
From the price of those 6 SBC's I can buy 20 normal PC's - Argh!!!
But I think, the PentiumM with 1200MHz will be a very good Workstation.

OK, since I have already a WORKING (and striped down) System,
I will check, which Packages are missing from emdebian...
My PRIMARY need is an Ultra-Light Workstation with "fvwm".

No, but now I have more time and since the MoD (and the new President)
has fucked me and my unit I HAVE the NEED to leave this country very
fast but notimmediatly.

Right. Since I hvae curently only 2 of 8 Mobilhomes (I call it modules)
I calculate with March/2008. But need very fast an embedded System for
my decentral Photopholtaik-System because in Winter it is useless...
The (Solar-)Charger will be Embedded Debian and it is more complex as
I was thinking where a hardware-only solution was not realy working.
And since Maxim One-Wire is supported by the kernel... :-)

Not realy...
The biggest problem is, to find the right Hardware/Software combination.
Buying an Opteron and installing anything on it is easy and fast, but will
cost you security (in case of Hardware failure) and Energy (electricity).
I need maximum hardware security and low power consumation which requires
experience... and time.
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
