| From: CLIFFORD ILKAY via talk <[email protected]> | (*) I intend to purchase a fanless tiny PC that has two Ethernet ports on the | motherboard to replace the Pentium II 266 Compaq small form factor machine | with 128M of RAM and 4GB of disk running IPCop, a dedicated firewall distro, | that I have been running since March 2004 and repurpose the 32GB SSD as the | drive for the new machine.
Good plan. This has two NICs. It may or may not have a fan. It is cheap this week (and last week), especially if you count the rebate: <http://www.ncix.com/detail/zotac-zbox-ri323-barebone-mini-38-130690.htm> The processor is only 1.1GHz. Low power. No AES-NI (instructions to speed up crypto). Bare bones: you get to choose (and pay for) the OS, the RAM, and the disk. --- Talk Mailing List [email protected] https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
