   OK, sounds like you have answered my questions on the Pi.   
      
   Don't use it.  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.
