    I just showed that to Paul and Andrew the other day, they only cost $38 AUD, amazing.
    I no longer monitor the forum, please either post your question or create a support ticket.

    Id like that, been toying with the idea of getting one and setting it up in my truck as a mini-media center (mp3s and maybe some HD video). Having EFILive would take the cake!

    Aren't those just nifty? A business card sized computer. If you could load EFILive you could conceivably do everything on one unit, log, change .tun tables, run data logs. They are powered by a normal cellphone power pack type micro USB so I would think a cellphone car charger would run the unit.
    I don't know how small a EFILive unit could be made to be, but if it was piggiebacked either on top of or underneath one of these, what a amazing unit it would be.

    I hate to commit blasphemy but, I bet Winders could be trimmed down to fit, after all the OS is contained in the SD Card not on a chip. I am sorry people can't get pass the fact that Linux is a stable platform to work with and insist on Winders.
    In a self contained unit the OS is none issue, I mean your Router is Linux based, your Cable/Satellite Box recorder is Linux based, you don't have any problems with them being Linux based.

    Please do not turn this into a Winders versus Linux free for all.

    You are so right about the OS on SD Card. Linux is stable
