I received my new Fit-PC2 in the mail this morning, and it is even smaller than I thought it would be. I am going to document the setup/installation process here, so other Linux noobs can learn from this experience.

One of the reasons for buying the fit-PC is that it uses very little electricity. This is important because it will act as my main web server and therefore  be turned on 24/7.

This excellent little program brings the Apple or Beryl Cube effect to Windows NT, 2000, XP, 2003, and Vista. Unfortunately, the program is no longer free, but I still like it. 

For those Windows users who simply loooove Apple eye-candy, but who aren't ready to swap their Windows machine out with a Linux based machine yet, Yod'm 3D makes it possible to enjoy the same effect on a Windows machine.
