Hi all.
I have been administering an Astaro server at work (K-12 school district) for over a year now and am thinking about implementing one at home. My son is going on 10 years old and using the internet more - so filtering is going to be a must.
I don't want to spend a fortune, but I want a good stable system that will be SMALL and use as little power as possible. I have read the HCL thread and many other success stories in this sub-forum indicating that the Atom D510 is a great processor for running Astaro.
Today while searching one of my favorite vendors (Newegg) I happened upon this:
Foxconn R10-D2 Intel Atom D510 Intel NM10 Intel GMA 315
For $99 and free shipping. looks like I can just add a small inexpensive hard drive, some ram, and a second NIC and I am in business, right? Has anyone here used this specific model or one similar? Will this work OK? Would 2 GB RAM be sufficient for home (only 5 PCs max), or should I max it with 4? Any other thoughts or things I may have not considered?
THANKS in advance for any advice and opinions.
