While something smaller certainly may have escaped our notice, LinuxDevices.com searched for the tiniest Linux system at this week's LinuxWorld show in San Francisco, and came up with the Cyclades TS100 device server.

At a mere 2.8 x 3.4 x 1.2 inches in size, the TS100 provides interfaces to 10/100-BaseT Ethernet and RS232/RS485 serial, and is based on a dual-core Motorola MPC855T “PowerQUICC Integrated Communications Processor” with 16MB of SDRAM and 4MB of Flash memory. The diminutive server runs a Linux kernel 2.2.14, along with a variety of open source utilities including the GoAhead webserver (for the Web Management Interface), Portslave, OpenSSH 3.1, crontab, Busybox, nettools, rsyncm, and others.

This Linux server fits in the palm of your hand

More details, including information about what the TS100 is used for, what's inside it, and concerning its manufacturer's use of embedded Linux, can be found in this LinuxDevices.com device profile.
