The eXcito bubba home server

A Swedish company called eXcito have just launched a low cost, mini home server called the bubba. It’s a Debian Linux server, running file, email and web services, with everything pre-installed, configured with a web browser, all in a tiny case. Today I do exactly the same with a P3, 512MB RAM, a SCSI RAID array and a rather large power supply. The bubba would do it all and only consume < 4 watts! Now if only it had built in Wi-Fi (my PCs are all over the house, and ethernet would be a nightmare, so the house is 100% 802.11g) it’d be perfect.
