VIA EPIA PD10000 1Ghz

I am thinking of purchasing a power user license for 25 users. Does Astaro still do power home user licenses? And if so will this hardware work for around 25 users:

Via EPIA PD10000 1Ghz
512 DDR PC2100
40GB Hard drive
motherboard has dual nics don't know if they are supported.

I was wondering if this would hold the number of users going through it. I want to have HTTP Proxy with virus and content filtering. POP3 Proxy with spam and virus filtering. And IPS.

Am I asking too much of the hardware? The thing is I am tired of my noisy 500Mhz amd K6-2 and want a very small form factor pc in its place.

The hardware should be big enough. I assume your users are normal users with not more than 50 emails a day. Or are you talking about eDonkey users [;)].

That could be important for you:

Power home user license isn't free any more. Please check:

Hi,

I just get one VIA EPIA PD 1Ghz processor with 512MB DDR ram and a 40 GB 5400 rpm 2.5 HD. I just install astaro v5.101 and the perfomance is very good. I have vpn with 2048 encrypt key.
The perfomance since better that PIII 1 Ghz that i have use previously. I think they have some optimal code on astaro kernel for VIA procssor.

If someone know astaro kernel have optimal code for via pls let me know becaus6e i try to plan all my customer about 25 branch with astaro vpn on VIA EPIA PD 1Ghz.

If someone know pls post.

tks

The VIA crypto driver was just added to the 2.6.11 Linux Kernel... it would have to be backported in order to get it running on a current version of Astaro.
I don't know if anyone has plans to do so, or how complicated it would be.

Has anyone setup ASG 6.1xx on the Via EPIA PD-10000 yet?

I was initially looking at a small Tyan FlexATX board (Tyan Tomcat i845GV S3098G2N-G), but 73w seems ridiculous for a Celeron D.

Again, Astaro's ASG 110 and 120 appliances are VIA powered with a 633 or something MHz CPU. If you have a look at the specs on the website or who is using those hardware for what purpose in here you might get an idea of what they are capable of and how much more your setup might be able to.
