Oh, in that case, I agree with Lars. I have a APU (the 2Gb) model running a bunch of light services for my small lan (pf, dhcpd, unbound, nsd, ntpd, wifi AP), and apart from heating a lot (passive cooling through the enclosure) it runs fine. > Performance is also not much of an issue, since I just run some personal > things.
