Entire Linux PC In USB Thumb Key

by DJ Neawedde | 24th June 2007

French company Calao Systems has managed to cram a full Linux computer into a USB key. The thing measurs a mere 3.3 x 1.4 inches (85 x 36 mm), with a ARM926EJ-S 190MHz processor, 64MB of SDRAM, 256MB of NAND flash, central USB 2.0 port (obviously), Ethernet port, and two USB 2.0 host ports.

They say it’s coming “soon” and “will come pre-installed with the open-source U-Boot bootloader and Linux 2.6-series kernels. GNU toolchains also appear to be available from the company.”

      Of course, the USB drive comes with built-in 24″ screen, power supply, 36-hours lasting battery, 52x CD-drive, and firewire port that allows for using your laptop as a hard disk. There is one thing that really bothers me. Where’s the off-switch?! ;-)
