The only drawback is the dual 100mb (why not single gigabit?). I guess it depends on what you're developing. I wouldn't want to recompile the entire Linux kernel on it; too slow. That's my main concern. But if you're developing for embedded applications, you can use it for a dev machine, then build the board that's in the thing into your product. The dual 100MB does me just fine. I use one box as a firewall, so it has to be dual homed. As for why not any gigabit at all, it would be overkill anyway. I haven't run netperf on it, but using one as an apt-cacher server indicates top speeds of ~2800-2900 KBPS. If you don't need the second port, ignore it. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
