Ask HN: Finding a tiny Linux server

How about a Sheevaplug or something similar? Quite cheap, ARM, supports Debian, decent amount of RAM (512mb) and OK cpu performance (1+ ghz)

I think Sheevaplug is the closest thing that nears my wanted specs.

There are a few shortcomings like memory.

Thanks for the tip.

There are several variants available based on the same platform, so you might even be able to find something a bit more beefier out there :)

Edit: I've been running a sheevaplug (512mb ram) with ssh, lighttpd, postfix, dovecot, bind and rsync without much trouble for a few users for a long time. RAM usage hasn't been a problem.

whatever you do, don't buy a guruplug. mine sounds like a hovercraft about to mate with the loudest hair dryer in the world.
