The Via EPIA mini-ITX boards have built in video, Ethernet, and sound
and will work well with some distros.  Mepis installs and runs well as
does Fedora Core 1. But Fedora Core 2 has a problem with them.  There
are some work arounds for the FC 2 issues, but I could not get them to
work last time I tried.

They are small, low power boards that are great for lots of stuff.  But
they are not for high end gaming.  I use one for my web server and
another one for getting all my e-mail and messing around on the
internet.
