Gary & All:
It's funny how these things go. No sooner did I put the question on this
list than I realized we have a spare HP DL385 with a dual-core AMD 2.2
GHz processor, 2GB RAM, and 2x72 GB 10K SCSI drives sitting here at work
doing nothing. Even has dual supplies and the additional fans along with
lights-out management. Should be perfect for a site I can't get to 6
months of the year. The AMD processor should do fine in 32-bit i386
compatibility mode. It also has DVD, USB and I believe two slots open
for cards.
Since I'm a Linux guy, there's no telling what I might want to do with
the horsepower once it's installed. Anything that might trip me up here?
Are there going to be restrictions on what I can run on the gateway system?

Chuck,
We run the G4ULF system on a Via C7 mini ITX board, 1GB ram, and a 8GB
CF card as the HD.
The CPU never gets much usage, and it has no moving parts. Only 1
Ethernet port is required.
It runs on CentOS.
The system cost less than $150 to build, including case.
