$213+$11 for a 233 Mhz machine with marginal 100mbit ethernet,
a funky and difficult bios, poor availibility? i think the world has
passed soekris by.  an atom motherboard + cheep chassis will come
in at about $200.

i believe that http://inferno-kirkwood.googlecode.com/hg/
has some more interesting stuff for those processors.  but then
again, it's not as easy to get as a random atom motherboard.
