What Is an SBC Running Linux?
An SBC (single-board computer) is a compact computer built on one circuit board, with the processor, memory and storage on the same board. Thinvent does not sell a single-board computer. Its range includes compact mini PCs, industrial PCs and thin clients that run Ubuntu Linux out of the box. These systems give the same small footprint and Linux support that buyers look for in an SBC, with more processing power and more I/O.
