I'm thinking of getting an Aleutia X1 (or maybe a model not yet on the site; 
see http://aleutia.com/x1-small-low-power-server) for my next box. It will be 
my gateway, which is currently a Linksys router that I have to manually load 
the IPv6 script on because the flash filesystem doesn't work. I may also use it 
as a backup server and a machine to test programs in a 64-bit BSD environment 
(in case 32-bit BSD and 64-bit Linux don't show up all problems). Which do you 
suggest: one 60 GB SSD and one 500 GB hard disk, or two hard disks? I will 
want at least /home encrypted, but not /var or /usr, as I'll need it to come 
up unattended.
