HomeSeries Net-Box

Thursday, January 27th, 2005

In a previous post I talked about my desire for a digital homestead, an appliance which you could use to create your own persistant network presence. Ideally it would be a small, inexpensive and robust box that would provide flexible web services, probably ssh, email, and a bunch of other cool and useful things.

Well, one company seems to have gotten the idea: Axentra :: HomeSeries Net-Box. The only problem is that it costs as much as a Mac mini and weighs about 4 times as much. Yes, you are paying for the software, but I’m not sure I really want a closed system for a box like this. I want something that costs as much as an Xbox.

Still, interesting.

I couldn’t agree more.
