New Server for PLUG Servering a Brand New Website

[Brian Cluff]

The only real problem with using this old beastie as a firewall is that 
it probably pulls somewhere around 200 watts of power, so you could save 
a ton of money very quickly by simply purchasing an ARM or ATOM based 
computer at full price and using that for a firewall.  It should pay for 
itself in around 6 months via it's greatly reduced power usage.
