Well, the smaller the better. :-) > I thought about getting FreeBSD up on the FEZ Hydra main board, > but it is kinda small with only 4MB flash and 16MB of RAM. I think 16 MB is a little tight. It might be doable, but I'd prefer to avoid having to spend extra time to squeeze everything in that space. 64 MB is more like what I had in mind. > Also, if you want smaller, there's the Snapper 9g45 SODIMM shaped > module. > http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/Blue-Water-Systems-Snapper-9G45, > which is only 2.7x1.0 inch.

Wow. 2.7 x 1.0 ist great, that would give me a lot more flexibility with my project. I'd be interested to hear if anybody is actually running FreeBSD on such a small thing successfully.
