Hi Kenji,

I can't vouch for the driver support of such a motherboard, thats best left to others. I must say, that is a nice looking motherboard, and I for one would be most curious if you were to get it working.

Another alternative, that I am looking into with NUCs is perhaps a Xen server, again, better left to others to tell you the support, but at the risk of hijacking the thread (please fork it if you have info on Xen) if anyone has any information on Plan 9 and Xen, that would be most welcome too.

Good luck with the venture and your retirement, and interesting news to hear the atomic power facilities are curtailing in your part of the world. We should talk about this in future, privately.

Many thanks!

Shane.

as CPU/Auth/File server machine. It eats high level of power.
Here in Japan, all the atomic power facilities is stopping.
In personal house, high performance is not so neccessary,
because most of the work will be done in terminals these days.
However, drawterm looks like very attractive for such purpose.
Then, CPU server is neccessary which is running all the day.

I found AMD Kabini based onboard energy save motherboard
called A68N-5000(Biostar), which looks like very attractive
for my Plan9 CPU/Auth/File server. Another candidate
is raspberry pi. However, I wonder it has such as mini-ITX
case and power?

How do you think about this?
