Enterprising hacker makes MsnTV Web cluster
By Sparky | February 12, 2006
Microsoft’s MsnTV console makes an ideal low end server now that I think about it. It has a 733Mz Celeron processor, 128Mb of ram, a 64Mb CF card, and a 10/100 network port. This enterprising hacker has managed to put Linux on it and is working on creating a server cluster.
Given that the MsnTV console can be had for about $1 on eBay I’m expecting to see a lot of cool projects surrounding these consoles starting to crop up. Heck - get enough of them and you could make a spiffy little POV-RAY render farm!
