I was planning on making an atom board a file server for my home, and I have two options: soekris net6501 2GB RAM and intel board powered by the 330 atom (says 2GB limited as well). My plans are to use from 4 up to 8 disks, and they should be 2TB at least. As its for home use, some p2p software and mostly music listening and sometimes movie streaming. should 2GB be that bad, that I should drop it and use UFS instead ? I may run any version of FreeBSD on it, was planning on 9-STABLE or 9.1. thanks, matheus -- We will call you Cygnus, The God of balance you shall be A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
