</div>Ports requirements, IIRC, are:<br>
* One(1) VGA port, or DVI-I and a DVI->VGA adapter<br>
* One(1) USB port for One(1) RS-232 serial port for the touchscreen's<br>
input (USB is the most convenient)<br>
* One(1) USB port for the ticket printer.<br>
* One(1) USB port for the cash reader.<br>
* One(1) USB port, one(1) SATA port or one(1) IDE port for booting the<br>
OS. (Unless we talk about netboot again)<br>
* One(1) ethernet port for network access.<br>
<br>
That's minimum, and can even be worked downward a little with a USB<br>
hub or expansion card. Anything else is gravy.<br>

I know Adobe Flash runs on Arm (it's running on my Xoom), but I don't<br>
know if they have an Arm Flash plugin for Linux. So a low-power x86<br>
processor would be ideal. AMD's low-power Bulldozer might even be<br>
appropriate. What's the lowest wattage x86 processor around that can<br>
handle Adobe Flash?<br>
