Where's the Zonbu??Where's the Zonbu??Posted Oct 31, 2007 14:25 UTC (Wed) by moxfyre (guest, #13847)Parent article: Itty-bitty, teeny-weeny Linux PCs (DesktopLinux)
How did they leave out the Zonbu?? http://www.zonbu.com It's got 512mb RAM, SIX usb ports, 1.2 ghz VIA processor, internal IDE and minipci headers for hard drive and wifi, TV-out, 10/100 ethernet, etc. I've compared several of these mini-systems and the Zonbu, for $250, definitely comes out on top in terms of looks and features. Also uses about 10 W.

Where's the Zonbu?? Posted Nov 1, 2007 11:41 UTC (Thu) by Wummel (subscriber, #7591) [Link] I like the Koolu better. It openly states that it uses Linux, has a harddisk included and John "maddog" Hall is openly supporting it.On Zonbus Homepage I never found anything stating that the device uses Linux. They seem to be ashamed of that.
Where's the Zonbu?? Posted Nov 5, 2007 20:55 UTC (Mon) by DRBaldock (subscriber, #30881) [Link] From Koolu's "Who We Are" page: "Jon "maddog" Hall - CTO and Ambassador Jon "maddog" Hall is CTO and ambassador to the world for Koolu." It makes sense that he would openly support it, if he's the CTO of the company! From reading the Zonbu "Learn > OS" page, there's no mention of Linux. If you look at the "Learn > Applications" page and you know that Evolution is an Outlook replacement, you can infer that the OS is Linux. It appears that the Zonbu has higher-spec graphic hardware than the Koolu - 2048 x 1536 @ 75Hz (Zonbu) vs 1920 x 1440 (Koolu). The Koolu has a 500MHz AMD Geode LX 800, and the Zonbu has an "Intel-compatible ultra-low power CPU" (no specs other than that). Take Care, David Baldock
