Hi Glen, Reason I went for old server is too keep costs down. Also, since the service will be on 24/7 better to use a machine that's designed to be up 24/7... Old means cheap :-) -----Original Message----- From: Glenn Sequeira <gsequeira@gmail.com> To: joe.njeru@gmail.com, Skunkworks forum <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Router VS *NIX PC Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2009 18:07:45 +0300 On Tue, Aug 4, 2009 at 5:49 PM, Joe Murithi Njeru<joe.njeru@gmail.com> wrote:
Which is a better solution.. purchase a CISCO router or implement a *NIX solution on an old server?
Others may provide you further info on which is better, but if you end up choosing the second option, you may want to take a look at Vyatta (http://www.vyatta.org). And the old server thing... well your increasing the possibility of the system failing with old hardware. gms -- Regards, Joe Linux User: #361092 SIP: joe.njeru@ekiga.net
