What can I do with old Astaro hardware?

Hi Group,

I have a newer model ASG110/120 firewall no longer in use as we have upgraded to the 200 series with redundancy.

What can I do with this newer 120 assuming I don't want to sell it? Any resources for hacking a flavor of linux on it? Boot from usb? Anything?

Looking forward to hearing some answers.

Thanks.

Lot's of things. Assuming it's a rev 4/5, You're looking at a custom made Intel Atom system w/ 2GB RAM so you have several options

I'm thinking of turning it into an asterisk pbx. Any howto's on rooting it?

As far as I know there isn't anything special you have to do. You just need a USB CD-ROM drive and your favorite flavor of linux.

Note though that the unit is not expandable (you can't add expansion cards) so Asterisk will only work with SIP & VOIP equipment.
