Hmm.. you seem to have quite a lot of these embedded boxens.
Few questions.

1. RM340 was like how many months ago?
2. What Torrent SW is being used? What's the load avg?

Based on what I've read on the FAQ etc, seems like after installing the
small firmware, the FUll blown OS can be installed to the disk and
booted off there? So essentially you get all 17K packages (based on
wikipedia) available for debian?

I'm seriously considering replacing my Dell 2300 to a low power
alternative. (Me thinks it's sucking up too much electricity and
nowadays, electricity prices are going up!)

More info please.

PS : what about getting a VIA EPIA, one of those low end 800Mhz ones??
(last I checked 1 yr ago was RM480 (excluding power supply which would
cost additional $$$)
