Re: the 'openssl speed' benchmark; is that the raw output, or
was it multiplied by 4 for the number of processors?

The article says to check the website for information on the X resolution solution for the Appian Rushmore Quad-DVI PCI card, but it doesn't seem to be here... or maybe I missed it. I followed links for the video card as well as pogolinux, but couldn't find the information mentioned.

Any hints?

Maybe I missed it, but it looks like you put a kick-ass sound card on a box with no speakers. This is not too surprising as I doubt a box like this would be used as a desktop.

There's nuttin like a Cool Project to give you some relief from the summer heat, so get out your parka cuz we got a bunch of em. First up is the BUG, not a bug, The BUG. It's got a GPS, camera and more, in a hand-sized package that's user programmable. The BUG does everything. It's both a floor wax and a dessert topping. Get one now. Need a software version of a Swiss Army knife? Take a look at Billix, and don't leave home without it. Then, chew on this one, an X server on a Gumstix device driving an E-Ink display. Need more storage? How about 16 Terabytes? Can do.

And, of course, we have the usual cast of characters: Marcel, Reuven, Dave, Kyle, Doc, plus the new kid on the block Shawn Powers. But it doesn't stop there: build a MythTV box on a budget, build your own GIS system, set up the tools to monitor your enterprise and more. Finally, remember The War of the Worlds? Now you can play too.
