Gigabit ethernet?

Whats currently keeping me from getting a bubba server is partly the fact that it still only has 10/100 ethernet. Will the device soon get gigabit ethernet or is it not fast enough to need any better LAN connection than 100mbit?

The current platform wouldn't gain much from having GB Ethernet, there are other more significant bottlenecks. However, we are looking into a follow-up, wich most likely will have better performance (and GB Ethernet of course).
No specs are set, and no decisions have been made, we'll see if and when it arrives.

Hi.
I am considering purchasing a Bubba, but would also like e.g. a faster net connection, the possibility of adding an extra harddisk etc.
The follow up you mention Johannes, is it just around the corner, or will it be a while before it's available? (I don't want to buy one now, only to find out a new improved version becomes available in a few months!).

Hi,
I fully understand your question. However it's at least 8 months, but more likely something like a year before release of the follow-up. We'll let people know when we come closer.

I suppose it would be too much to hope that when you get to your higher performance bubba-processor board that it could be a plugin replacement to existing one; without having to scratch the disk? Hopefully still ARM based?
Just a vote from an embedded-linux hacker..

Coming from
http://www.linuxdevices.com ....
Why do I find Bubba interesting :
-Fanless => very quiet. That's something really important (Wife Acceptance Factor)
-Small (WAF again)
-Simple
-Software scalable (Debian)
What's missing
-Gigabit interface
-USB or eSATA

Any news ?
Will this follow-up be still fanless?
Thanks in advance

I'm also wondering if there has been any progress in adding gigabit ethernet?
Have been using a Linksys Slug, but it can't really stream DVDs to my mediaplayer, and copying does take a while.
