Gumstix
People who are looking to build portable or minimal devices as part of digital exhibits (without humming desktop machines hidden around the corner) might be interested in the sub $150 ‘palm-of-your-hand’ linux boards at The Gumstix Website
These are 200MHz-400MHz Xscale Intel Chips plus 64Meg SDRAM, like the desktop computer I was using only a few years ago! Also, expansion boards for audio and other externals are available for not too much cash. Not suitable for really intensive multimedia work, but perhaps perfect for robotics/interactive devices.
