Not very lucky. I would rather expect a harddisk to die upon electricity
cut than a CF-card.
Probably Murphys Law...
I have been using two Alixes with Monowall (nearly 4 years) and Azkosia
(ca. 1 year) without a problem.
And I just unplug the current if I want to reboot.

sorry for jumping in here but could you not save some watts (and money)
using something smaller for a firewall?
Alix 2d13 or Soekris-boards with M0n0wall come to my mind here. They use
around 5 Watt. And you dont have

Hi Ben,
I am unsure about the capacity of the circuit coming in to the server
room. It features one ordinary wall plug. Although they have a
generator, power routinely goes out more than once a day. This is a
hospital. The generator kicks in within a minute. That makes me want to
take the lowe

You are deciding between two completely different ends of the
processing power spectrum. Why is that?

Vagrant,
All very good points. And thanks for the education. I'm off the t5325
bandwagon - vendor lock-in. Trying to decide between an Atom D510, 4 GB
RAM and Sun Xeon x2270 with 6 GB RAM as the LTSP server for 62 clients.
I'm thinking 128 MB RAM on a HP this client will be enough. The clients

you don't really. LTSP is about booting over the network. you could connect to
the same server that LTSP is using with VNC, NX,
Thanks for the t5325 evaluation. Going with plain vanilla LTSP h/w and
keep the client memory/cpu footprint low will be the most painless to
support and field.

I tested a couple of t5325, and while they are small, inexpensive, and
very low power, there is no obvious method to net-boot them
Totally new to thin clients. Question - How is a LTSP client connected
from outside the network?
I am regurgitating hype, so let me have it if warranted:
a. Will install 62 thin clients doing mainly web-application
(low-graphics, nothing moving) and OA stuff(AbiWord and Gnumeric)
