We recently started selling a hardware appliance box called “ebox-3300″ and “ebox-3310″ in our swedish webshop. These little mini computers is not only small (11,5cmx11,5cm) and energy efficient (10w) its silent as well since it does not have any built in fans.

ebox-3310

When we first introduced a similar product a few years ago (known as Microclient), it did not come with any preinstalled OS. But as time went by and these boxes became more and more popular, we decided to bring home the next generation of this little box (now called ebox-33xx) along with building our own custom Ubuntu 8.04.4LTS based image with all necessary drivers included.

This is whats included in the image:

* Ubuntu 8.04.4LTS Server
* Drivers for the R6040 10/100 ethernet lan card
* Drivers for the VIA VT6655 wireless card
* Kernel Image 2.6.30 with APM Support for the Vortex86MX
* Headers file for kernel 2.6.30.1
* Config File for Kernel Compilation
* Vortex86mx development files for the 2.6.30 kernel

Everything else is left untouched and the installation iso-image was created with rmastersys.

The iso-image can be found here:

Just download, unzip, and prepare a USB-stick with the iso-image using e.g. UNetbootin. Choose the option to install to harddrive, it might be a bit slow to load, this is “normal” for the ebox. The system will be fast when its up and running.
