Silent, and about as small as a consumer-grade DSL router. On Wyse's page below, they indicate they indicate these run a variety of Windows CE, NTe, XPe, or even Linux: http://www.wyse.com/products/winterm/products.htm I'm guessing the minimal OS is burned into flash, and has enough smarts to get everything it needs off the net. Has anyone done something like this, putting FreeBSD on it? The form factor's good, the noise is great, and price is tolerable if it just works out of the box. Any pointers would be appreciated.
