I have been running a frontend on an 8GB USB flash drive for almost a<br>
year with no issues. My ION box (when it ever gets here) will do the<br>
same.<br>

I've toyed with netboot using GPXE and since it supports HTTP<br>
downloads of the initrd, it is lightning fast compared to standard<br>
TFTP. Playing around with MiniMyth and a slow VIA CPU, it boots in<br>
1-2 minutes which only happens if suspend/resume fails for some<br>
reason. I would plan to do the same should I purchase the ION<br>
motherboard.<br>
<br>
Has anyone heard of other manufacturers releasing ION-based<br>
motherboards or is it a one man show for the foreseeable future?<br>

If you are interested in ION platforms you may want to watch this site for news and new systems: <a href="http://www.ionbased.com/" target="_blank">http://www.ionbased.com/</a></blockquote><div><br>Just FYI. The IONITX-C-U boards are in stock at Newegg and Amazon. Amazon has them $10 cheaper with free shipping<br>
