[clue-tech] Yet Another Micro-PC running Linux

[Jed S. Baer]

I think this is very cool. It's the Aleutia E2.

8 Watts, with Ubuntu pre-installed.

Yesterday, some friends were chatting about how, in few years or so,
nobody would need a PC; they'd just plug their phone into a dock to hook
up full-sized peripherals. Judging by the size of this thing, that might
not be too far off.

A dock with a big HD in it, a phone running Moblin, or a scaled down
Ubuntu, or even a full-blown Linux, provided that processors and RAM
continue to scale down in size for performance, use rsync or even better,
union, to keep stuff on the HD in the dock ...

Of course, I'd be worried about carrying too much personal data around in
a phone, but that's what encryption is for.
