Linux компьютер в кармане
Linutop claims that its Linutop PC draws "less than 6 Watts" -- less energy than many computing appliances such as printers and scanners dissipate in standby mode. The device measures 3.7 x 1.1 x 5.9 inches (9.3 x 2.7 x 15 cm), and weighs 9.9 ounces (280 grams). Its compact wall-wart-style power supply incorporates a European-style plug.Linutop is based on a 433MHz AMD Geode LX 700@0.8W processor. It has 256MB of RAM, and comes standard with a 1GB USB flash key as its main storage device. The lack of moving parts contributes to a long life cycle that generates less waste than less robust designs, the company said.
On the software side, the Linutop PC is based on Xubuntu, a version of Ubuntu that eschews complicated, slow-moving window environments like KDE and Gnome in favor of Xfce. Interestingly, Xfce was also selected by Zonbu for its low-power, Via C7-based Zonbox, announced earlier this month along with a "carbon offset" program.
The Linutop is available now, for European power outlets, in two configurations. A single Linutop with a 1GB USB stick is priced at 280 Euros (approx. $380). A pack of eight Linutops, each with a 1GB USB stick, is priced at 2,100 Euros (approx. $2,850).
Вот и терминалы для школ. А больше для многих и не надо. Ещё более концептуально выглядит "компьютер в розетке", к-рый был около года назад проанонсирован. Правда тот был чистым терминалом со всеми вытекающими, а это - полноценный комп.
