I love this, read the whole article, but I still feel underwhelmed.
I have a ton of older hardware lying around, all running Linux and perfectly capable to perform the tasks outlined. Incl. a Nokia N900 that can be ssh'd into etc. It's of similar size AND has a keyboard. Granted, that one does not have an ethernet port but the others do.
And we all know how easy it is to buy an ARM board, install Linux and add all the ethernet ports one desires.
So, apart from the really nice form factor, why this one above all these options?
We do?
I reckon it's via an USB-Ethernet adapter.
If you use USB Hubs you could theoretically add as many as you want on a single USB port if you daisy chain the Hubs (if it's a really large number some of the Hubs must have external power).
Granted, performance is limited.
Never tried it, though, so maybe there are further limitations.
