Anyone using one of the various plug computers that could share their experience?<br>
<br>
I'm thinking ahead to moving my mail and syslog server to something like a plug computer with an external hard drive attached. The server is very low volume and minimal load (exim/dovecot/syslogng with some monitoring using mrtg).<br>
<br>
I may also use it as an endpoint for SSH tunnels though I may also use something like an Rpi for that (currently using a meraki with the wireless interface turned off) and possibly as the master controller for apcupsd.<br>
