Yup, first off, my machine is on a hard drive, not a CF.

Secondly, I need a full dev environment and tghe end prodcut will have a
60 to 100GB drive in it, so space/install size isn't a problem.

Rqther than a small firewall box, we've chosen Soekris to be a small box
we can deploy at an office to do remote management and other tasks that
doesn't look like a computer to the layman and therefore won't be stolen
or futz'd with as frequently.
