Chip company ARM is prepping to make its move into the netbook market, and now it has shown off a few prototype designs that really show off the benefits of using the ARM platform: thanks to passive cooling, no fans are required, enabling ARM netbooks to be much thinner and lighter than their Intel counterparts. Thanks to ZDNet, we have a nice video overview of these ARM netbooks - as well as a few very tiny ARM desktop machines.

VNC would be fine for remote use of the Plug computer say in sensing.
I was really thinking more along the lines of Plug computer plus some modest human interface (KB+screen) running through USB. With off the shelf parts that means using a generic USB->VGA adapter an unknown quantity for me. With OEM parts, more appropriate parts might be available but probably more cost. Its not like you see electronics stores like Fry's in most places to look for odd stuff. Looking forward to opening one of these up and tinkering.
Still does Linux even work with a USB-VGA device?
