I already have a bunch of them, looking for other people's uses.  Writes
are slow by default, it helped when I enabled softupdates on various 
partitions, but it's still not a very fast box.

However my use is more for DNS server, remote SNMP server and some other 
things.

The big issue I have with it is if it loses power it won't automagically 
restart.  Anyone know how to make it autostart on powerloss?  (I thought I 
stated that in my original post?)

g.day
