I've never read anything about both being installed. The products page has an Ubuntu version, and at a seperate price, an XP version.

I think he's talking about wanting a serial port to plug the thing into a console server or some such device where you could control the machine via it's serial console instead of the keyboard and video. There's some other perfectly good hardware that still uses old serial ports, like UPS or network...

I'm betting your slowness has more to do with the usb-drive and the way the software is configured rather than the computer it's attached to. There are a few ways to improve performance of a system running off a thumb drive, but what in particular is 'slow' for you? are you talking about slow bootin...
