“For the past few months I have been spending a lot of time
using my Mini-ITX computer. This was originally a project system
which I put together so that I would have something small and
silent for my living room, on which I could do a few very basic
tasks, like check my email and get on the internet. The first part
of the project featured a system which booted Puppy Linux off of a
flash USB drive, a solution which was simple and quiet, but not
very powerful. In the second part of the project the system was
given a new case, improved cooling, and it booted off of a LiveCD
and could save to a CF card. As I used the system more I decided
the best course of action would be to make a few more changes and
increase the system’s functionality, despite the impact that this
could have on its silent operation…”
