It needs to be done, badly, has done for years, but is the DE bill an incentive to replace it with an appliance to act as a router\/firewall etc. I am planning to move the internet facing services to a web hosting company’s server<\/acronym>, but do I need something small and UNIXy. This article is now deprecated<\/strong>; it was posted on this blog in 2010, but I never replaced the qube until I bought a raspbery pi<\/a> in 2016. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Links<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I found the Shuttle X27D, their own page on the X27D, and their European product page. http:\/\/www.icubes.co.uk\/, a UK dealer that’ll sell one; they’re based in Slough and have a customer that puts Ubuntu<\/b> on it, however it only has one disk. Do I care?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Reg’s Review<\/a> it seems it’s desktop capable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

http:\/\/www.nexenta.org\/<\/a>, one OS if I can be bothered to get on top of it, although what’s its future now Oracle own Solaris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More or Less<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I also wrote about the qube on my blog<\/a>, originally at Sun and then latterly on my bliki and wordpress blog. The style is pretty pompous, but i suppose I’ve got to get used to it, that’s a bit of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I eventually had to get rid of the qube when both disks went wothin a couple of months. I eventually transferred the bliki to an AWS machine<\/a>., but later gave up on the bliki software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why I gave up on Snipsnap<\/a><\/blockquote>
