I concur with this... I have 2 Logitech K740's and a DiNovo Edge, both with this so called PerfectStroke. I find that from a performance standpoint (i.e. typing speed) these are superior keyboards. They might be "strange" or "different" and for some may take some getting used to (kind of like forcing yourself to move away from the number pad and use number keys at the top of the keyboard), but once you get used to this you won't go back. And you'll type a hell of a lot faster.

Those boards actually doesn't seem too expensive... in the ballpark for homebrew... not sure where they're at in terms of the MIPS relative to the higher horsepower aforementioined 40 SBCs, the quad cores and what not (tough comparisons too x86 vs ARM). Not familiar though... the one thing that certainly would scare me with these Soekris boards is that they so convieniently leave out any details relating to the OS support. Can I install & run one of those mentioned distros and have the mulitude of network interfaces be 'up' right on boot?! curous now... I'd rather have Yocto support ;^)

This seems like a no brainer to me and I don't know why none of these builders haven't done this: a SBC with 2 ethernet interfaces... I've always been pretty entertained with and learned a whole lot about Linux by making household gateway/NAT router boxes... ya know.. something homebrew to replace your store purchased router. i.e taking a Linux box running your favorite distro, adding a network card and using it as your home's internet gateway, connecting it to your switch+wifi access point, etc. And you could take it well beyond that. But a normal computer is a "big box" for that.. you could do the same thing with a tiny SBC!! I always thought it would be cool to take one of these those SabreLite boards with the PCIe connector on it and wire it up to a PCIe ethernet adapter and porting OpenWRT or Yocto to it. Gateworks has something like that $$$. Complete that task and you'll learn a whole lot of good stuff about Linux and various open-source projects!
