This may be appropriate for another list, but it seems to me that there's
plenty of applicable knowledge here.
Right now, we're using an older Compaq Deskpro P3-600 box as our incoming
Linux server. Basically, it connects with the DSL modem and contains IP
masquerading, DNS caching, firewall and fetchmail/procmail/qmail tasks
(SpamAssassin included). It runs 24x7 with no problem, as it has for the
last 5 or 6 years. Built like a tank.
I'm wondering if something a little less power-hungry might be preferable,
however. Are there any low-power alternatives for the job that anyone can
recommend?
Cheers,
Chuck
