How limited are you in the no-no category when using a small machine like this. Do you set you system to prevent transcoding? Does it prevent conferencing? Just curious. I kind of like those features but love the idea of the small machines.

We've used the Asus eeeBox (desktop version of their little netbooks) quite
successfully in past projects: Atom 1.6, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD.

Generally we run Gentoo Linux with Asterisk 1.4.<latest>, but no reason why
you couldn't run another version you're more comfortable with.

For 3 concurrent calls, even a machine of this spec might be overkill, but
it's a good general-purpose server to have on-site at a remote location and
might be useful for other things (general fileserver, rsync backup server,
etc.).

The eeeBox also has the advantage of being cheap (quite probably cheaper
than smaller/lower power units), which means keeping a spare around in case
of hardware failure isn't an unrealistic option.

Regards,

Chris
