The box is running quiet smooth and fast on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server and Desktop. However, the area near the power slot is quiet hot compares with other areas of the box.
The ethernet and wireless as well as bluetooth are supported Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server and Desktop out of the box.
The HDMI and audio of the box did not test during this review.
The size of the box is very slim and small compares with DIY ITX boxes. It is also lightweighted as the box classis is made by plastic.
Conclusion
This box is ideal for Linux Server and Desktop usage. However, the endurance of the box for Linux Server that running 24x7 is unknown. The price of the box is also attractive. Recommended.
That's all! See you.
