Dear all,
I am about to build an ASG for my home network (I have 5 devices on my LAN in a private IP space), connected to an ADSL service.
I have a second hand Dell Dual Pentium Mini Tower which I plan to use as my Astaro Gateway.
I understand I have two options when building the gateway:
1) Build the ASG using the Astaro software appliance (which will delete all data on my hard drive and will result in my Dell box being dedicated as the ASG) or
2) Install Vista and VMWare Player on my Dell and install the Astaro Virtual Appliance. This way I could use my Dell simultaneously as a Raid storage and an Astaro security gateway.
My question is:
1) What is the recomended configuration to use (Option 1 or 2 above).
2) Are there any security issues running the ASG as a Virtual Appliance under VMWare in VISTA and using my Dell server for other things simulataneously (eg: as a Raid storage).
Cheers and thanks
Steve
