The Chumby's back...
Re: The Chumby's back...
Here have a few small / large ones which have been totally modded to run Linux (well as much as I could do with them). Mostly just replaced the original SD boot card and redid them that way. It was plug n play.

Re: The Chumby's back...
Given that they have processors substanitally less powrful than the Joggler, what would you say is the attraction of the Chumby?
Re: The Chumby's back...
Personally here just liked the style of the Chumby. It was the first touchscreen I ever modded such that I am a bit sentimental about.
I also here connected a Mimo USB monitor to a Seagate Dockstar and ran Linux on it just fine.
It is much slower than the Joggler and cheaper built.
I guess the attraction is that its still being supported. I put one in a friend's dental office.
She just uses it to play music and its never quit and works fine these days.
Today the Joggler and Openframe's outnumber the Chumby's here by a large margin. They are in every room of the house (literally).
