Serious Techies ONLY: Linux mini server for £18 delivered

gould300

Aside from it it coming with a euro-plug only it's a bargain. I'm now typing this into my LTSP session after having booted from my LTSP server. I can hear the clock in my office too which is unusual as the sound of the fans in my normal PC drown it out

Where did you find your license key as I can't fin mine, it just says I have 37 times before I have to enter a license key which I can't find.

You only need the license key if you want to use the eLux Linux software.

Just download another distro and use that...

If you want a text-based server then I would recommend using Voyage Linux:

If you want one to play with which has a GUI then I would try iMedia Alix:

BTW, to get into the BIOS is F2 when you see the Fujitsu Siemens graphics which allows you to turn off the beep...

Thanks

Ok, I was interested in trying out the operating system that comes on the device before I try anything else to see if it will do what I want so do you have any idea where the key will be?

I didn't bother with the bundled OS but the site is here:

Can this be used as a NAS?

gavinp

I haven't tried it but you should be able to use FreeNAS:

I have two FreeNAS servers running flawlessly for the past year or so, in a work environment. Highly recommended.
