Good things come in small packages, as they say, and that’s perhaps never been more true than it is today, thanks to the emergence of increasingly diminutive devices equipped with Linux. Perhaps most notable of late is the $99 Marvell SheevaPlug, a wall-wart-sized device that runs Linux on a 1.2-GHz CPU with 512 MB of RAM and 512 MB of flash — and with power consumption of just 5 watts. The SheevaPlug was introduced back in February, but enthusiasm on the Linux blogs just goes on and on.
