[asterisk-users] asterisk on mini-itx

Hi there,

I've got a few systems like the one you describe running painlessly for 
several customers.

I found out the same thing and settled for Mini-ITX as well. Perhaps the new 
Soekris net5501 that is about to be released will help you?

I've been running off CD and Compact Flash without any problems. I've created 
a custom LiveCD so it's more or less hardware independant. It copies itself 
into RAM once it boots. Though it can easily be used with CF only.

I've got Shorewall and firehol on my CD as well as cbqinit and htbinit. Though 
I don't actually use them currently.
