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
