I don’t think there’s enough memory on Gizmo (1GB?).  And no slots, so the
result would be kind of brittle.



I’ve had a small AMD Family 14 system from Foxconn running Linux for my
kids for a while now (many months).  I bought it at NewEgg but I don’t
think the exact model is still available.  It’s maybe just a little bigger
than a paperback novel.  No serial port, though.



See:

If I remember right, the NIC is an RTL8111 (variant of gigE RTL8169).



They have new models in a similar form factor.  But I doubt they have a
variant that sports an Intel NIC and serial ports.



No experience with this:
