I think you are right.

I recently received my Corel NetWinder, a *very* small format
StrongARM-based serverette that runs Linux.  It is a cute box about the size
of one of the speakers from the last TLUG meeting that contains a 275 MHz
StrongARM, dual Ethernet ports (one of which is 100Mbit), serial, parallel,
and (in some incarnations) telco line interfaces.  The server can now be
the same size as your ISDN router.

The software is not quite ready for prime time... but that is why Corel went
the Open Source route right?  So everyone can help. :-)  Or at least do the
part that is important to their application.
