9front. For hardware, I'd suggest 9front on an old thinkpad. Most seem to like x230s, but personally I run an x260. I have the wifi swapped out for a Centrino 6235, which gets me to a usable-but-not-fast, 500k/sec; good enough for sitting down at a coffee shop to do some hacking. I also have a way-overkill CPU server, Ryzen 7 on an X570 chipset, and an Intel 82599 10 gbit nic plugged in. The main reason for the overkill box is that I wanted something with a bunch of slots for nvme and hard drives. And because fast machines are fun. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T9061cdf46ee69cdb-Mc8d53695f62b8ea90e1d7e2e Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
