Thanks all for your replies.

Considering the wiki, it has a pretty informative page about soekris
actually, I just missed to do my usual googling before posting.
Thanks Michael for the pointer.

Regarding the geek chic, I'm not sure about that. Soekris is just
a complete fanless low power consumption solution, and as such
pretty attractive. What happens to be a kind of limiting factor
are the pci extension possibilities, as the net4801 has just one
3.3V slot. But since it's for home use and the only card I want
to plug in is a passive Fritz PCIv2 card the board just seems to
fit my needs.

And thanks Kristian for the link. I'll make sure to give your distro
a shot in case I actually order the box. Just haven't completely made
up my mind yet. Nice pics btw you have on your site, what board is
that?

Regards, Bruno.
