Definition
These systems at minimum should have:
- The ability to work stand-alone - no reliance on other computers being available
- Libre boot firmware (BIOS)
- No components that can not be replaced by a person with a screwdriver that require drivers with binary blobs to function
- Usually wifi adapters and graphics adapters are the issues here
- Not make an insane amount of noise or have a form factor that is aimed at the server market
Machines to evaluate now
- BeagleBoard from Special Computing
- ThinCan DBE61C-USB - runs coreboot

Machines to evaluate if they ever become generally available in the US market
- Lemote Fuloong Mini - not available outside of china to the general public as far as I know - might be possible to get if you are a hacker and contact them directly.
- ThinCan DBE63 - should be available in Q2 or Q3 2009.
