What sort of testing? About feelings, it depends on what is installed and how it is installed. You can use, for instance, a compact flash card, a 3.5" (laptop) hard drive, or a combination of these (I think). I am running on only a 128 MB CF card so it is difficult to have a full install (I don't have full functionality but today's affordable large capacity CF cards make full installs possible). Flash allows me to unplug the unit any time and not worry about disk problems. Typically the Soekris is used for some kind of gateway but you cannot expect it to handle a large network since it has resource limitations (cpu, ram). So these are some examples of the differences you may encounter. Other than that, my system performs very well on a small lan and I am very happy. Here is my df: Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd0a 118M 21.7M 90.0M 19% / mfs:30147 7.8M 100K 7.3M 1% /tmp Notice I am using a memory/RAM filesystem for any writing it needs to do.
