Just wondering if anybody on here has acquired something like the following
(basically a computer on a stick / pendrive) and tried loading Debian (or any
Linux) on it?
Have you found any that aren't preloaded with Windows?
This company has a preloaded USB stick that is the entire computer -

Did you have an explicit product in mind?
They obviously have the technical expertise to meet my needs.
However their obvious target audience is OEM &/or mass marketers.
What I'm looking for is a retail product that would compete with
PDA's of a decade ago.
The "application" specific compute power would be satisfied by
equivalent of a 2 MHz Z80A with <= 640k of RAM. I do not have the
expertise to estimate how much compute power that would be
required to drive a current touch screen display.
Raspberry (sp?) Pi's have the compute power. But their form
factor is terminally CLUNKY. Besides which I'm looking for an
"off the shelf" solution.
They will preload any OS, Linux, Mac, Windows.
I have not personally tried these.
