I've had nothing but success with the Alix boards. They are very
reliable. I usually setup the Alix with a gigabit switch (unmanaged)
and then run an AP either off of the switch or OPT1 depending on
client need.
Alix with PF is a very high value solution. Cost of parts relative to
function of hardware/software is amazing. If you are concerned about
reliability, they are cheap enough to have a full set of backup parts
on hand. Just order 2, prepare them at the same time, and make sure
you have a backup of your config file handy.
Also, if you want to ever move to more powerful hardware, I'm pretty
sure you can take your config file and upload it to your new install
and not have to reconfigure.

Everything I have heard and actually witnessed with the ALIX systems

to use the full image on the ALIX systems instead of the embedded
version but I cannot speak as to why.

I am about to order hardware to make my first embedded system and am
thinking of an ALIX.2D3 as it covers port wise all that I need.
This will function for a very small lan <10 clients, are there any
opinions
anyone can share about possibly better choices or more reliable
setups?
Thanks for any points!
