2 new mini Linux boxes



After the success of  Raspberry Pi, it seems mini PCs that run Linux has become a technology trend.  Recently, 2 new mini Linux-enabled PCs have joined the party.

The Oval Elephant

This is the first time I have ever heard about Linaro Linux but this is the distro that Oval Elephant can run ( although the default OS will be Android). Oval Elephant costs only $72.5 and comes with a single-core 1.5GHz AllWinner A10 Cortex A8 ARM, 1GB of DDR3 high-capacity memory, WiFi connectivity, a MALI400 graphics processing chip, and 1080p HDMI video output, with support for 2160p. It also has a microSD card slot supporting up to 64GB, and a full HDMI port enables direct connections to a TV or monitor. A miniUSB port will be used to power the device. A built-in MIC and an external port for MIC audio are also included in Oval Elephant.
