We have a pair of thin clients here at the office, used for server diagnostics.
AFAIK, it can only be used as a client for a Terminal or Citrix server.

I think you'd be better off with a Linutop. A bit bigger, but it's a full-on pc.

cool. Linutop looks hella awesome.
i just randomly came across Jack PC and was surprised by that thing.
i guess nowadays, the possibilities are limitless.

But if cost is important, check out the DecTOP. $99USD. Less capable than the Fit-PC, but still an x86 Linux machine.

thanks for the ideas. i'm really itching to get something like this now, but most of them are kinda hard to get.
i've been googling these things non stop for 2 days. anyone has any direct experience?
so far dectop (with weird negative comment from this month about no delivery of the product) and Norhtec (seems hard to get) look affordable enough to play around with...

seems like most of those tiny PCs are geared (appropriately) toward large orders for companies looking for computing solutions...

not exactly a competitor, but seems fun.
anyone knows anything about this? is it good and/or usable? can you put linux on it?
