General purpose servers are usually good performers, but more network-centric x86 hardware is available, such as: http://www.serveru.us/en/ And running VyOS on those servers, although requiring to learn some new stuff, might prove handy due to nice features in device management. Forgetting to add command lines to /etc/rc.d start-up files is a common cause for issues using general purpose operating systems, and you will its CLI very close to the real industrial stuff. Rubens
