[Robotgroup] Embedded Gnu/Linux Hardware Recommendation?

[Andre Lamothe]

There are so many to choose from, I have tried a number of units which I 
mostly ordered from ads in N&V, CC, and strolling the embedded systems con. 
But, one thing I highly recommend is getting a PC104 footprint or smaller. 
Try www.embeddedarm.com they have some nice ones for $129-229. That would 
work for what you want to do. Also, you have to decide if you want to 
ARM/linux or intel linux, the ARM is usually cheaper, but what's nice about 
intel linux is that you can run the toolchains etc. on the PC as well and 
its a little easier to work with since otherwise you have to cross compile 
on the PC and download. Its just nice sticking to intel all the way around 
IMO.

Hey, can anyone recommend a good hobbyist board for using gnu/linux to
control robots?

Wishlist:

Under a few hundred dollars
A few hundred megabytes of flash memory
usb connector
some other lower latency port
ethernet
able to run in hard real time

Thanks!
Rhett
