[ubuntu-za] HP Proliant N40L MicroServer with Ubuntu Server

[Rodney Arne Karlsen]

I have 2 of these systems at home with 5GB ram each. They are a dream to
use with Ubuntu. Using one as a file server and the other with XBMC. The
processors are 64 bit and have the AMD virtualisation extensions so you can
even play with VMs on them. I've been doing a bit of low level
experimenting with KVM on there too with no hassles. The wake on lan is
nice too. And they use very little power. I think both servers along with
all my switches, routers and external drives use about 120W total. Thus I
used one as a desktop for a while to save power compared to my i7 desktop
that eats about 500W under load.
