Hello Stanislav and List
There are two reasons why I want this plug PC: 1) security through obscurity. if someone by whatever means take this thing apart - an alix is very easy to dump the content off it. a VPS is even worse. 2) such a Plug PC has at least double the ram an alix has, the moment you want to also run mutt on it it starts to become a bit relevant, with a few dozend openvpn client connections as well.... I do run a lot of Alixes globally already, I do know the whole box quite good. I'd love to keep this box in switzerland as well ;) Thanks for the input, mosh will be a topic I will update the ML if the interest is there - I'm looking forward to see how it behaves on sat connections etc. Silvan Am 01.06.2012 10:36, schrieb Stanislav Sinyagin: > > but actually for your purpose, I would just buy the cheapest VPS at > http://www.buildyourvps.com/ > > I've got one for about $35 a year.
