Build your own Linux computer on a CompactFlash card

By Ryan Block

Looks like C Data Solutions is trying to edge in on the ultraportable market with their new Compact Flash Computer,
a full (albeit very weak-sauce) Linux-based system jammed into a CF card. Well, it's not really a full system;
the CF card has the 32MB RAM, 8MB flash, and the 66MHz SOC (system-on-chip, which we presume means Linux inside the processor) which also has support for Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth, USB, etc. But to actually use any of these interfaces,
you have to get a second and third CF card and hook them all up. Oh, and this system is going to go for upwards of
$800. So it's totally destined to take over the small form-factor market in a firestorm. Or not.
