Well I prefer *BSD and MacOSX but any (mainstream) acceptance of Linux can only be a good thing for operating systems in general.

Pictures of the EPIA-N8000 - thats one small bit of kit
Also: Dual and Quad processor mini-itx - nice!
I've been running a mini-itx since March 2003, fanless and very quiet the machine has been very reliable (running FreeBSD which helps!) I've only ever had to reboot because of upgrades to the OS.

Apple - iCal
Apple - iCal
I've been looking for a decent group calendar system for the MMP staff and being a Mac user (recent convert) I looked at using iCal with webdav for publishing, this is great and I've yet to find an issue with it - except for when you add the windows users in to the equation, there is a lack of decent windows clients the only one that comes close is Mozilla's calendar plugin this works OK but still doesn't come across as user friendly and polished as iCal does, but given Mozilla track record recently with Firefox and Thunderbird theres hope for it yet, if I could make the moz calendar publish after every change to an event it would be good enough to use.

Indeed as the title says handy p2p software for making computer to computer calls for free and computer to normal phone fairly cheaply (especially long distance) quality seems ok theres a bit of latency but should be managable.
