I do have the bbs (mbse) running on a 8 core along with the       other server apps (apache, ftp, mysql etc) and load is very low.       I was cosidering a Pi as a back up but would prefer to use a internal HDD for       speed but using a USB v2 Hub might be pushing it a tad. Will see what comes        out       this year regarding better kit and/or extra modules to plug in.              Thanks for the response.              Vince              --- Linux/Mbse v1.1.02/GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20120229        * Origin: Air Applewood, The Linux Gateway to the UK (2:250/1)    |
