Yes, CentOS 4.2 runs fine. kernel compile of 2.6.18 something took about 80 minutes. Versus comparables of 30 minutes for a recent desktop. The mini-itx fanless box is neat but slow by today's terms. Not usable except for a specific, low load service IMO. Maybe playing MP3's in your car? Also see the DSL hadware offering.

thats not what I'd call a 'server' by any stretch, its a mini-ITX motherboard, typically used in embedded systems. As I understand it, those 1.2GHz "Eden" CPUs perform comparably to a 450Mhz Pentium II, have very slow memory and IO bandwidth, don't support ECC memory (mandatory for any server in my book) and have very limited IO expansion.
I suppose it really matters what this "server" is expected to do..

Sorry, I forgot to tell that this server act as a fileserver for 7 windows clients. Also BackupPC should run on it.
Sounds fine to me. Via does have some more. Everythinglinux.com.au sells them here, for Linux. You might peruse its website.
I think JP lives in another world, one with bigger networks and bigger budgets.
