Are these going to be generically available boards?
BTW is anyone else a lttle bit worried about this patent story:
(see http://lwn.net/daily)
Ateon Networks receives patent on remote storage for internet appliances
Commerce, April 3 (Monday)
Ateon Networks, which makes Linux-based internet appliances, has
announced the receipt of a patent on "remote storage for
internet appliances." The patent is not written in the
most clear manner, but it would appear to cover serving
files from a protected internal network.
If CF is flash, wont it affect such boxes?
