Hi Peter,
I'm also looking forward to hearing how people get on with this. It is
cheap enough to play with!
Looking at various devices, it appears to be a decision on cost &
availability.
Sheevaplugs appear too feeble, and are not versatile enough.
I could get an ALIX 2D3 for about 100UKP, excluding case, PSU, etc.
Or, I could get a 4-port router with a USB port - but all the models I'm
looking at don't have USB (or come with wifi). This is 3rd choice.
Soekris and/or Mikrotik have too limited availability - though they would
be 1st choice at the moment.
So I'm now looking at a N40L box, which (after discount) will be about
100UKP also.
still pondering - I'll let you know...

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure
contains a definitive record of customers, application performance,
