I've also found that the Shuttle SV24 barebones, which uses a Shuttle FV-24 motherboard, is very close to being mini-ITX like the new Eden reference design. Also, I believe the M-series they make reference to in this news article is actually made in Tawain by Saintsong - under the name Capuccino GX1...wickedly small albeit pricey. I have both of these units running FreeBSD 4.5 with X-Windows (no not picobsd, but I'm sure it would work). The FV24 has a damn Savage4 so it requires the use of a binary linux version of XF86...ugh. --Lee > -----Original Message----- > From: John Oram [mailto:norami@unlimited.net] > Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 1:16 PM > Cc: freebsd-small@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Article: VIA preps very small mobo = less than 7 > inches square > > > <http://www.theregus.com/content/3/24274.html>; > VIA preps very small mobo > By Drew Cullen > Posted: 03/11/2002 at 09:03 EST > > VIA Technologies is expected to launch a very small format motherboard > this month.
