Sharp's "home server" to run MontaVista Linux
MontaVista has sent out a press release announcing that its "Professional Edition" will be running inside Sharp's HG-01S ("Galileo") home server. This server looks like a fun gadget, it handles video recording (onto an internal 120GB disk), functions as a web server, and can be controlled in several ways. One just hopes that a lot of attention is being paid to security issues.

Better place for personal web server Posted Nov 10, 2003 16:37 UTC (Mon) by proski (subscriber, #104) [Link] I think they would have better chances to succeed if they put the web server inside a "broadband router", like those by Linksys. It's always on, it's always online, it's not behind firewall, it has a web server already (for configuration). It could be a great hit for those whose personal pages that are not visited much (less than 500 times a day) and who don't have too much data (upgradable 128M flash card should be fine).Combining personal webserver with PVR is more artificial and may he harder to set up for non-technical users.
