I must say that the low cost of the newest ALIX cards has impressed me to the point of recommending using one for Astlinux and another for m0n0wall or pfsense. That way you can keep the functions separate. Too many functions all in one box makes me edgy. I like my VoIP stuff to be very dedicated to its task.
FWIW, I actually run m0n0wall on an old Soekris Net4801 and Astlinux on an HP T5700 thin client. But the ALIX boards are much cheaper now than the Net4801 was when I bought it.
