I've never heard of Zareason, but I'm actually looking to upgrade a desktop and am a fan of Mini PCs. I currently have a very old Gigabyte Brix that has been super-reliable and is still kicking with an SSD and Linux, but I'd like to get something a little more powerful. I know that I could probably source an Intel NUC (which I think the Meerkat 5 is, but rebadged) cheaper, but I liked the idea of helping out a small business that contributes back to the open source community. I'll have to check out Zareason though!

Thanks for replying,
