[clue] Low power servers.

So I want to replace the old dual-PIII server I have with something that uses less power. A
freedombox would be nice :-)
The server runs Debian for mail (exim, but maybe postfix in the future), mailman, apache, twiki
(changing to something else), ssh, and not much else.
Can a raspberry Pi do that? I thought they were underpowered but someone mentioned using one as a
file server so maybe it would be good enough. My server certainly doesn't do much.
I think I'd prefer an Alix board to a Sheeva/Guru Plug but I also think the Pi is cheaper.
I don't need much beyond 100Mb Ethernet and a way to connect a hard drive (USB2 at least, though
something faster like SATA or USB3 might be nice--or may not matter if USB2 can keep up with the
network).
Anyone doing real work with a <10w server?
Thanks!
Dave
