It seems to me that there's definitely a break point below which very
small hardware platforms are really only suitable for hobby or very
niche applications. I once ran Astlinux on a Gumstix board just to see
if it was possible. But beyond embedded applications it actually
creates problems to have such small hardware. OTOH, net-tops like the
the Fit-PC2i are really very interesting, and servicable in small
producti
roles.
