mini/micro ATX w/ PCI
Hello,
Does anyone have any experience or recommendations on very small ATX
form factor
Linux based machines? I'm looking to put debian on an x86 compatible
architecture.
I'd like (2) PCI slots arranged so that the PCI cards are parallel with
the main (small) motherboard.
I intend to build a few custom routers (10-30), so any serial(T1) cards
or experience getting T1
cards to work in a mini/micro ATX package is most welcome. I have used
Sangoma, Imagestream
and several other T1 cards, but,it's always a pain finding small form
factor hardware.. I'd like
something small, portable, and with a 12VDC power supply (am I
dreaming or what?). I see
"VIA" everywhere, but, I do not have any experience with this chipset,
to build a router.
Maybe someone knows of an OEM router that runs linux, where you actually
get access to
the kernel, sources, etc, so you can build/customize from scratch, a
router that is actually
pleasurable to install and manage..... Obviously, Cisco and I have
parted ways....
What I hope to find is a small, highly portable, router, that runs linux
and make the sources
available.
All ideas are welcome.
James
