Cheap PCs As Network Appliances
Tim Kientzle
Oakland By combining free software, such as Linux, FreeBSD, Samba,
MySQL, or Apache, with low-end mass-market PCs, it's possible to build
very capable servers for under $500. What's more, by packaging the
software as a bootable CD-ROM, you can create a "virtual network
appliance" which requires no software installation and essentially no
configuration. I'll discuss some projects that are already doing this,
and explain how to design and build your own such systems.
