All,
I built a webserver for a rs-232 connected weatherstation from 1998 era laptop. (256 MB ram, low power CPU)
I only used the screen / keyboard early on to configure things. Also the laptop never moves so there is no advantage to it being a laptop. The laptop has died so I want to replace it.
I'd like the replacement to be relatively small so it can fit under a bed, etc.
I've got a keyboard / mouse / monitor I can hook up for the initial build, but I would hope after that all support would be via ssh. I'd like the PC to have a rs-232 connection just because I've read the weatherstation doesn't work well with usb-to-rs232 adapters.
Recommendations?
Maybe an ARM based platform (one supported by openSUSE).
Thanks Greg
FWIW, I recently got an odroid-X2. Quad core 1.7GHz arm processor. According to the specs there is a uart for applications (there is one for monitoring, but that's special). There is even an Opensuse-image for it (I should try it ;-) ). When you use the eMMC-module it's very responsive. But : it's DIY. No case, separate power-supply, etc. If you like DIY, there's also BeagleBoard, BeagleBone, ... the arm-linux miniboards are popping up everywhere.
