Plat’Home’s “Will Linux Work?” Contest

Published on August 1, 2008 in General by Rami Taibah

I previously did a review of the multi-purpose Plat’home palm-size Linux  server. Plat’home claims that their servers can operate in very harsh and rigid environments. They can guarantee that this little critter can operate in tempratures up to 50°C/122°F!

But Plat’home is not just going to talk the talk, they are totally willing to walk the walk. Starting today and up to September 5th, they will be holding an online competition to solicit ideas for the most interesting and challenging conditions to successfully run Plat’Home’s OpenMicroServers.

Does your small business in Arizona have a server room with no air conditioning? Do you live in Alaska and need server(s) that might be subjected to cold conditions? Are you an archaeologist that needs a computer that can be taken on a dig with you and survive dust and bugs? Tell us about it! We want to know if Linux is the solution! “Will Linux Work?”

So if you got a great idea why don’t you pass it by the guys over at Plat’home? Just submit your idea at their blog. Or even better just tweet your idea to them (I would love to hear your idea also! So please tweet me too!)

The winning idea will get 5 free OpenMicroServers to test their idea for real!
