picotux is the smallest Linux computer in the world.
While the month is full of Raspberry Pi, it's time to talk about the smallest Linux computer. Meet - picotux 100 , the brainchild of German genius.
Release Date: May 18, 2005
Price: 99 Euro
A pumped model is also available - picotux 112:
It is based on the same picotux 100, but it is placed on the 53x48mm board and additionally soldered:
')
The attentive reader could already conclude that on picotux 100 you will have to solder some things yourself. But that's not all, most also have to fill the image of the OS, good for this, he will get everything you need.
Well, for those who are too lazy, just 239 Euros (facepalm.jpg) you can get Starterkit. Where include: picotux 100, compact, cords, power supply.
Conclusions: of course, you can scold picotux 100, recall the Rapsberry Pi, and conclude - “not needed”. But do not forget that the Raspberry Pi belongs to the class of mini computers, while the picotux 100 is micro. Perhaps somewhere there is a situation when you need to read the telemetry over the network, while there is no place to host a computer at all. Then picotux 100 would be the best option. Therefore, we wish him good luck.
PS Apparently the prices on the site changed for the last time in the same 2005 year. It is hoped that after the release of Raspberry Pi, the guys will correct them in the near future.
