embedded system based on FreeBSD

[Graham North]

Sam:
Great question! 
When you say embedded I think of industrial controls, instrumentation or 
robotics - is that what you want? or a single board desktop or server?
I recently purchased an Asus K8V MX - an AMD based matx.   Unfortunately 
I cannot yet tell you how the install went because it got stalled by 
other autumn household chores - soon...!   From my homework it looks as 
though both the video and SATA are supported.  I am not sure about the 
NIC.   It has a few nice features (particularily for a low throughput 
home server) - if you use a Sempron 3000 or up then you can utilize the 
"Cool 'n Quiet" feature which will dial back your CPU to less than 1/2 
power.   It also has automatic fan speed control for CPU and chassis fans.
Caveat emptor.  Take a look at the specs yourself to verify your comfort 
zone from X.org etc.
Cheers,  Graham/
