[Empeg-technical] Re: Possible alternate source for VFD

[mlord at empegbbs-noreply.merlins.org]

I live on the edge.  I have one tiny linux box, a Corel Netwinder, that is my firewall, mail server (in/out), NFS server, SAMBA server, print server, web server, DNS host/server for several domains, remote access host (SSH, VNC, ...), DHCP server, time server (and client from a Stratum-2 outside source), etc..

All in a box that's about the same physical size as an Empeg, and which uses about 50% more power than an Empeg.

But of course I DO have a spare on the shelf, just in case.

Very power-friendly:  took very little to make it, takes very little to run it, and it'll be tiny in the landfill when it finally dies.

Cheers
