Hi I need to replace my crappy, old machine(Master) Futro S400( http://uk.ts.fujitsu.com/rl/servicesupport/techsupport/professionalpc/thinclients/futrosxx/futros400.htm http://cl.ly/image/3C0Z363q0M1O http://cl.ly/image/311f3U260R37 ) for something new. My Backup machine is Alix 2D3( http://cl.ly/image/2M2x1l1V0k1r ), is perfect for that(carp+pfsync, only pf and small things) :)
Hmm, Soekris net6501-70( http://soekris.com/products/net6501.html ) or Lanner FW-7541( http://www.lannerinc.com/products/x86-network-appliances/desktop/fw-7541 ). OK, simple question, what's better?:) Price is almost the same. In my opinion Soekris is a little bit obsolete. My requirements: small, home router/server, fanless: pf(altq+hfsc) for ~15 hosts, carp+pfsync, nat, named, www, samba, ftp, UniFi Controller(jre+mongod), pfstat, ipfm, pf logs, SSD(CF is too slow). Hmm, Lanner looks better, 6xNIC, 1xrj45 console port, newer hardware, memory(ddr3) upgradable(i think so?), dual core Atom 64bit, all ports on front. Soekris, maybe more professional product? Any suggestions?
