raffy; Here's a web page with a $95 micro PC, 733mhz & 12" x 11" x 2.5"!
They've quite a selection & they're at :

It'd be nice if they cost a little less or had more cpu power (gripe gripe),
but 800mhz is fast enough to play DivX movies & run Puppy very well!
If you know other sites with good deals... POST THEM!!!
You mean a latest thread for LanPuppy? Isn't really one as I'm still at it.
It's current shape is; I have finished GUI's for:
Client PC admin.: add & remove client PCs from the LanPuppy workgroup.
User login admin.: add, remove, enable & disable LanPuppy users.
Server setup & LanPuppy options: checkboxes for: No login & allow any client.
Just one more GUI to go I beleave, but I can't think of it right now.
Then testing the bootup & the GUIs, then remaster both server & client Puppies.
Eventually I'd like to make a server only LanPuppy setup like Knoppix has.
LanPuppy will have the sfsManager, & then I'll mod a few popular sfs files.
Puppy runs on any x86 type cpu PC, 200mhz will browse, 300mhz or so does better.
LanPuppy runs in 32MB to 64MB ram, more's always better but not needed.
My movie PC (AMD 900mhz) has run Win98 in 64MB for years now.
Puppy doesn't like it's SIS 6236 video card, I'll replace the card some day.
The jukebox has 32MB ram, runs Puppy & XMMS, SB Gold card, & 100w amp.
What apps. the client PC' runs determines the cpu power & ram that's needed.
The apps. vary widely, so the clients intended purpose sets what's needed.
The LanPuppy server (PupServer) is a Samba file server so 200mhz up should do.
Exactly what the power & ram needs of the server PC is, we'll have to see...
As I'd said, I'd like to see a NAS that'll PXE boot LanPuppy & Samba serve it.
A tiny NAS server & microbox client PCs, that would be REALLY interesting!
