Hi all,
I am considering building a "backpack computer" that does MP3 playing, etcetera... I was planning on using the EPIA because LinuxBIOS supports it. Is the EPIA in a state right now where it would be usable for such activity?
Thanks,
joshua

I believe so. Greg Watson just built linuxbios images today and they are working fine. If you need help just let us know. We can also just send you some 'epia+filo' images which load linux from an attached ext2 formatted CF.

Of course, this doesn't mean that I've in any way abandoned PPC for x86... :-)

Okay, cool. I will see if I can get my hands on one of these boards and see what I can do. What other hardware do I need other than the epia? (sockets, etcetera)
BTW, thanks for the quick response.. I'll not be around to read your response until later today, unfortunately - 11pm here.

A board, a power supply, a magicram IDE-FLASH or IDE-CF adapter ... you don't need much.

I'll have 15 or so EPIA's running LinuxBIOS at Clusterworld if you want to take a look :-)

I'd love to go - a little bit far, though! I'm in Boston.
