Understood.  What I meant by "limited" was that it seems (with respect 
to hardware), it seems like the hardware side of things isn't as 
widespread as I thought it would have been (compared to *normal* 
hardware, aka AT/ATX etc).
I was previously aware of soekris through mOrOwall (which gave me the 
idea of putting one together myself).
But then again, I've only begun searching yesterday, so what do I know :)

Thanks once again...
