DO you mean once you have built the system?
AstLinux has an upgrade facility built into the system, with the ability 
to revert to the previous version, all built into the web interface.
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.

And if you have an Alix with 2 Ethernet ports, why a second one as a 
firewall?  AstLinux has a built in firewall
You did say a SMALL office, didn't you?
