Micheal, Would you explain your setup with your Soekris Net4801 and AstLinux? I am curious as to how much the system actually gets used and possible any performance hints that you can give the list? I just looked at AstLinux and it is facinating... I'm just wondering how much a 266mhz 128 MB SDRAM system can handle. Might be good out of the box small business solutions that I might be able to recommend to my clients.
