I like what I see out there.  I'm looking at buying a CerfCube (3"x3"x3")
right now.  It's strongarm based also. 32mbram, 16mb flash, 3 serials,
10BaseT ethernet, USB type "B" :-(  Check it out here: www.cerfcube.com
Seems to be a nice linux distro.  I liked what I saw so much, I'm gonna send
them a resume.  ;-)

Where can you get these, and how much do they cost?  From the web site it
looked to be a "roll your own" project.  Since I can't solder SMT stuff, can
you get the boards pre-populated?  I can handle "normal" soldering (such as
mini-din connectors), but SMT is out of the question for me.
;-D

I hope this is not getting too far "off topic".  I most certainly would use
PIC-type micro's along with my SBC endeavors.  They're a match made in
heaven.  It's all EE anywho.
