I recently discovered a few options for inexpensive "thin client" or basic desktop Linux systems on the cheap.

The Linux-based Nokia 810.

I have a WatchGuard Firebox (the original model) that was picked up at a computer recycler after they were discontinued. They were special at the time for being an early corporate adopter of Linux.

I've been messing around, on and off, for the past couple years with the idea of building my very own carputer.

Originally, it was to be merely an mp3 server/player so I could listen to all my music when out on the road - especially on roadtrips, where there is often a fair distance between decent radio stations.

Well, recently the bug bit me again and I went out to re-evaluate the options available to people like me.

So today I migrated my mail server. Fun, fun, fun. (Not.)

I got totally fed up with not being able to connect to the uw-imapd-ssl server I've been trying to use (since, after all, I'm using it on the old machine just fine). So after reviewing the options listed at debian-administration.org, I decided to install dovecot.
