Answer:
yes, no difference.


OpenBrick classic can have a 2.5" internal disk, and is then
a wonderful 300 MHz PC - Linux, *BSD, Windows, etc.


OpenBrick-NG only has the capability to have USB based disks -
this works also well with Linux - see umigumi on their website
for how to install. Be warned: *BSD still have troubles with
USB 2.0.  I drilled some holes in the lid and mounted a 2.5"
disk inside in mine.  There are two IDE interfaces, one with
an older 3.5" disk cable and the other with the smaller 2.5" disk
cable. You won't fit a 3.5" disk inside. I worry about the extra
heat generated.  My preference is clearly NetBSD and USB - but
that is not yet reliable running on USB 2.0 (and USB 1.1 is just
too slow).
