Nope. It's 1/2 the price of the top model iMac (since I already had the LCD and some other stuff) an more that 1/3 faster acording to benchmark tests. :P

It was time to replace my kitty - a HP Omnibook 6100 - that I have used since 2001.

The new choice is:

Intel Pentium M Core Duo 1.66 GHz (T2300)
HDD ST9100824AS (SATA, 100.0 GByte)
224 MB Intel 950GMA graphic adapter
12.1" WXGA-Display
1024 MByte RAM
DVD+-RW Double Layer Slim-Line drive (external FireWire; 8x DVD-+R, 4x DVD-+RW, 3x DVD-RAM, 24x CD-R, 10x CD-RW, 12x DVD, 24x CD-ROM)
USB 2.0 (Intel)
Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5789 Gigabit ethernet
Intel Pro Wireless 3945 WLAN (802.11a/b/g)
FIR-Chip (2nd serial interface)
Bluetooth 2.0
Firewire (IEEE 1394) Texas Instruments
Sound Intel 82801G (ICH7 Family) HDA
PCMCIA (Texas Instruments)
5in1 Card Reader (Texas Instruments; for SD,MMC,MS,MS PRO and xD)
1.3 Megapixel Webcam (USB)

... yes, her name is Acer TravelMate 3012 WTMi :)

I'm missing the serial inteface and it is quite a hassle to make FC5 running on it - but I'll survive.

zoli, try Ubuntu if you have hardware trouble!

It kicks (Mandriva's) ass. Seriously.

I'm going to guess that is is an HP iPaq or other small handheld.
If an iPaq, I would say the Familiar Project might be your distro of choice.
There are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Is it a satelite / digital TV receiver? Using MontaVista linux?

:) you are both right...

It is a set top box - a DVB satellite reciever.
Dream Multimedia's DM-500S - the "dreambox".

It is the cheapest model in its class, but it's a real dreambox, indeed.

telnetable, ftpable, firmware upgradable, connection to k* sharing networks etc.

I really enjoy to hack this box.

OK, well, who deserves the bottle of wine now? :)

Z

sjaz was first, although I honestly found out what it was without understanding what sjaz meant! :P

It was just Google though!

Just for the history, does it have the Linux I mentioned above pre-installed?
