Hardware Talk :: Damn Small Machine in DSL Store!

How soon will the DamnSmallMachine ship after it is ordered?

I am having all the pre-ordered units shipped to me mid-September, and then we'll process the credit cards and ship out a couple of day after that.

John,

Is your test nanobox running still? What is the uptime so far?

thx

100thMonkey, I am not doing a marathon with it, when I am done I've been shutting it off. It may seem wacky, but I never keep my computers running without actually doing some work.

Can this thing boot through network, making it the perfect thing for an internet cafe?

[EDIT] (this button is my companion and saviour) I intended to hook one DSL DSM to router, router to 2 switches, and have other DSM's boot from that machine. Or I can just make them boot a SuSE9.3 live edition from a P3 'file/web server'...
So does the main board support booting through LAN? Is it's BIOS much like the common ASUS standards?

Some things need to be discussed more thoroughly between me ad my partners in crime, but when things work out (and if we can't get those P2 systems from some office) you may expect an order for ten of those to start with. If so, I'll order one test version with a small flash drive.

Longest EDIT I ever posted... Also: I'm gonna register the concept of creating a network of DSM's that boot from network. Sue me.
