I'm not sure that this is the right place to ask, but it's the only min-itx thread I see going on the forum. If the forums gods feel it belongs elsewhere, please be my guest & move it.
I too am enamoured with the thought of a small, quite, not terribly hot box running DSL. I'm trying to figure out what parts would go into a box, and was wondering: - The 3677 & 3688 cases talk about "low height" memory. Anybody know what that means?
- I'm considering a DSL mini itx system that would no have it's own monitor & keyboard: it would be accessed over a network. Is the DSL (or KNOPPIX, or Debian) kernel that's in the default distribution going to boot OK if there's no monitor or keyboard attached? One Linux book I have says that I'd need to build a kernel with special options (like serial console) to do this.
I know it's not DSL- maybe we need a mini-itx, or DSL on mini-itx, subforum.
Thanks,
Mark
