"Realm Systems has developed a portable computer likely to appeal to real geeks: a server so small it can fit in your pocket. This review is going to take a look at Realm Systems BlackDog. It is the smallest Linux server, weighing in at 1.6 ounces. It's smaller than the size of a PDA and can be plugged into the USB (Universal Serial Bus) port of any computer running Linux, Windows 2000 or Windows XP."

Also, does it work on OS X as a client?
No, not yet at least:

I agree, they should add a port for a CF or MMC card.

Neat little device. I wonder if you can boot from it, and use kind of like a Live CD? That would be a good way to have everything, especially if you have some apps & data on another thumb drive. Just plug the both of them in, and away you go! Then take it with you when you leave, and not have to worry about leaving anything behind on a public computer in a hotel when you're away from home.

This is not the smallest linux server available. The GumStix waysmall comes with Linux, and is only 90% the size of the BlackDog.
BlackDog:
.50” x 1.75” x 3.5” = 3.06 cu. in.

GumStix:
3.25" x 1.4" x 0.6" = 2.73 cu. in.

It might be the (almost) smallest Linux server, but it is by no means the smallest Linux box (http://linuxdevices.com/news/NS8386088053.html) or smallest server (http://www.deviceforge.com/news/NS4222234168.html).
