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.

Given that they have processors substanitally less powrful than the Joggler, what would you say is the attraction of the Chumby?

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).
