Plat'C2 (Plat Communication Components Inc. — Tokyo, Japan) introduced a tiny PowerPC-based Linux “micro-server” at the recent NAB2003 show in Las Vegas, NV. The OpenBockS comes with two 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports, and is said to be useable “off-the-shelf” as a fully functional firewall/router, mail server, or web server. With the addition of an optional plug-in CompactFlash card and hard disk, it becomes a “powerful general purpose Linux server that fits in the palm of your hand,” noted Toshiya Goto, the company's chief technology officer.
