The way mailing lists are supposed to work is that your one reply is sent
to all subscribers (although Yahoo always seem to want to try hard to break
that).

If you want to run a versatile Linux server that will cost not much more
than $35 and uses less than 5V @ 1000mA then take a look at the Raspberry
Pi. It has a GUI if you really need that stuff.

The processor is an ARM6, the operating system is a modified version of
Debian, ArchLinux or Fedora built for the ARM6. http://raspberrypi.org has
the details. It's a step forward from the plug computers to a small machine
that can deliver HDMI 1080p graphics. Both of my Raspberry Pis run remind.
