It would be nice if the processor was a bit faster, more memory (Alix ships with non-upgradable 256MB RAM...) would be nice, & the vr(4) NIC's (Three can be found in the 2d13... ) are only rated at 10/100. It would be nice if they were 10/100/1000 & capable of supporting VLAN's, but they aren't.

However, as posted on OpenBSD's misc@ mailing list last week:

They can be configured to be nice little IPSec end-points.

I have a number of these systems for various uses (though not as many as in the picture posted to misc@...). Heck, I may even get another one for something else.
