Say I want to do something real using the E3. The hardware's certainly up to it, and the form factor is great, but as soon as I start doing anything using serious software (such as Debian), I'm going to run out of RAM. So, I'm going to need swap space.
Are there any alternatives to plugging in a USB1 hard disk, sharing the single port with all my other devices?
While I have, in the past, used Sun workstations that swapped over a 10Mbps ethernet cable with roughly similar bandwidth to that USB port, it wasn't a pleasant experience. It would be really nice to be able to get hold of some higher-bandwidth conduit. Even just being able to dedicate a complete USB1 port rather than having to share would be an improvement; the boot logs say that there are three ports --- are any of them brought out to headers on the motherboard?
Failing that, any other suggestions?
