[Voyage-linux] Hardware advice: Soekris net5501 + Voyage + MPD

[Hans Harder]

I have a net5501 board running with an old but stable Voyage release
0.40. I use a cfcard as bootdisk and have an internal  2.5 HD
connected to it inside a smaller housing :

Don't use a 3.5 HD, those consume to much power.

Alix boards are cheaper and have VGA output, Soekris has only a serial
console port, but also 4x eth.
It depends what you want/need....I think the Alix boards are also nice.
