Some have WiFi. Similar Processing and RAM capability to a Router, often with ARM or=20 MIPS SoC as used in Routers. Some may be Geode or Atom x86 based. Not really anything to do with X11, unless you want it. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
