Subject: [SLUG] fanless computers

I aim to run Linux on a no-moving-parts computer, as an MP3 player (plus
whatever else I think of) in my bedroom, which is why it needs to be
absolutely silent. Has anyone done something like this?

I searched for "fanless computer" on eBay and came up with

http://cgi.ebay.com/_W0QQitemZ380148215708

I intend to use it with an IDE -> CF adapter, and have the MP3s accessible
over a Samba/NFS share.

The text says it supports Linux 2.4.24 and 2.5 . That seems really
restrictive to me. How much wiggle room do you suppose there is?
