I am looking for something that I can hack away like a NSLU2 but that thing=
only has one disc
and worst of all its 100m interface. Anyone know of a device you can load L=
inux on that has
maybe 2 discs like a NAS200 with a gig nic? I need a quiet device to act as=
a tftp-dhcp/web/dns
system.

I thought of just building one from a new Soekris board, or even a mini itx=
but hope there was
something simpler/cheaper.

Thanks for any reco's!

Yeah, I have never seen it "re"number either?

Here is a good explanation about this:

Well you don't "install" 3i with this process, you just deploy
it and run it. The config is premade, or made at first deploy then
extracted and pushed out, so its safe.

Should be fun, this will allow me to free a lun for vmfs instead of
the hypervisor and to make upgrades easy to go to and from with.

Sorry guys, jumped the gun on this one, http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php s=
hows exactly
how to make this repeatable. I presume that should not change...

Thanks!
