Hi, I'm planning on using FreeBSD 8.0 x64 RELEASE edition for a small primary/secondary DNS server setup. The system will run Bind9 and have some zone files and views for the few people I host for. I am considering using a dual Atom system board with 2GB RAM and for storage was thinking of going for 16GB compact flash card instead of a normal hard disk...... This is a bit radical for me as I have never used this kind of setup before so I'm not sure how suited it will be??? These are the system boards: http://www.commell.com.tw/product/SBC/LV-67E.HTM# or http://www.globalamericaninc.com/p2808245/2808245_-_Mini-ITX_Motherboard_with_the_choice_of_Embedded_Intel_Atom_D510,_D410_or_Fanless_N450_Processor/product_info.html I mean for a DNS server (all be it a small one) is it wise to use compact flash as storage?? Thanks and regards, Kaya
