I was thinking portability for the same reason as yourself, in that if I
want to take a part of my cloud (controller and 1 node) out and about for a
demo or to demonstrate at a client site.  I was thinking of the aspire revo
with a little server box the size of a NAS (eg. Thecus 3200) as they can all
run headless.

It would be interesting to test if my asus eeepc 900 would run as a
controller (am using it to test meercat and lubuntu currently), if the
aspire revo is not overly tasked as a controller, then it should be possible
on the eeepc 900.

Are you the Dave at Canonical that I was talking to whilst you were
demonstrating UEC at the recent Ubuntu in Business conference in London?  If
so, hello and nice to talk to you again.  I was going to drop you a line
when I had the private cloud up and running (waiting for some new hard
drives).

Regardless I'll do a write up soon and post a link to the list.

Thank you.
