It's a reasonably powerful embedded device and it runs Debian with no issue. As such you can use your regular Linux tools and services with no issue. Mine does just about everything a Linux router can do. Your only real constraint is space, and remember that you do NOT want to be writing data to your on board CF card OR your NAND flash as it won't last for very long if you do. That was why I added the USB mod, and can now connect a 500Gb USB hard drive and space is no longer an issue :). I haven't run a stress test on the webserver but I think the results will be surprisingly good if I do. Waseem,
