Hi Casey,

The Liva Black (or BAT?) was the original tested hardware platform. This one in particular (not trying to promote newegg as a vendor, just handy link): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856501007. For the most part it just worked with Ubuntu 12.05 Desktop, although a couple of models had a few hardware quirks.

At IU we're going to be looking at the Liva X as a new release of that hardware. There is actually one sitting on my desk right now. You can get these from amazon or newegg or whatever today, although to the best of my knowledge nobody has done any testing on them just yet. If you want one to tinker go ahead, but I might hold off on ordering 1000.

Group,

     We're interested in obtaining a new small node hardware platform for testing.  I was interested particularly in the LIVA mini-pc.  They were mentioned at TechEx and are mentioned on the small node page off the main PS webpage. 

     What I'm interested in is which of the LIVA mini-PCs has been tested by I2 or ES.net (or others) with PerfSonar?  The Liva?  Liva X?  Liva X2?  Liva Core?  I believe what I saw talked about at TechEx was either the Liva or the Liva X, probably the Liva X. 

     I also remember talk of a new hardware revision about to be released for these, does anyone know when that should drop (roughly), so I'll know whether to buy this week or wait a couple of weeks?

Thank you
