Hi Willy,
Great article.
Glad I did not go through with the order myself.

Hi.
Is there any success stories on using HAproxy on a GuruPlug Server
<http://www.newit.co.uk/shop/proddetail.php?prod=GuruPlug-Server>?
It is said that its speed is approximately the same as a 700Mhz P3.
We are considering placing one of these at one of the large ISP,
reducing the overhead as much as possible, and use it to forward all
traffic to our servers using HAProxy.
I finally got my guruplug server plus. To make a long story short,
it's slower than my ALIX (Geode LX 500 MHz), and heats so much that
people are reporting failures after 3 months, and I found that it
was difficult to unplug an RJ45 cable without being burnt by the
metal parts, really ! Two and half internal wires managed to break
just by moving their plug around. It's a massive crap which I would
never let run when I'm not here to monitor it !
For more information, I've put photos here :
