[H-GEN] Recommendations for "little machines"

[mark at colmiga.org]

Hi Ben,

I ordered a Globalscale Technologies MiraBox yesterday. It appears to be
single core but it has some impressive expansion specs such as a mini PCIe
slot, 2x USB 3.0 connectors and dual gigabit Ethernet.

It comes with Debian v6 out of the box and I am sure it is hard float
(it's a v7 core).

For US$149+shipping it is very good value too.

Mark.
