DO you mean once you have built the system?<br>
AstLinux has an upgrade facility built into the system, with the
ability to revert to the previous version, all built into the web
interface.<br>
To initially build the system, it seems to me you would need to put the
first OS on the CF card to get the board alive.<br>
<br>
And if you have an Alix with 2 Ethernet ports, why a second one as a
firewall? AstLinux has a built in firewall<br>
You did say a SMALL office, didn't you?<br>

AstLinux supports dhcp and dns as well as several vpn options including<br>
openvpn.<br>
<br>
You can download a live ISO image to test. <a moz-do-not-send="true"
