We have some EOL symantec 1660 appliances, I guess anyone will agree that there is no better way to reuse them with wonderful Astaro.
Earlier version of Astaro installs but hangs on boot up, 7.5 beta installs just like any other astaro software image installation (I did the install with additional pci vga card but I think installation over serial should also work). All hardware detected and running fine.
