[SunRescue] New Netra

[Björn Ramqvist]

The problem seems to be that the Netra X1 lacks of PCI-slot. The others
has one, but (probably) because of just that, the initial price rise to
a whopping $2.495. Ofcourse, then you get U2W-SCSI, but...

Seriously, since it has 10/100 Ethernet (dual), wouldn't this little
neat'o box be a great low-cost NFS/Samba server for the small LAN? I
can't see any reason why it would be impossible to put 30 GB drives in
there... what's up next? 72 GB?
Ofourse, heat would probably play an important role here.
