A brief followup on the software installed on my Atom PC.
I already mentioned Munin, a great monitoring software, very easy to setup. Even though there is quite a few plugins available in the Debian Lenny package, I have added and/or modified some (openssh, apache_accesses - with added SSL support, enabled graphing for apt).
Ever since I started sshd on port 22, I noticed some password guessing attacks, mostly for root, but also for oracle, guest, test, support, squid, svn. I tried to limit the number of connections via iptables as described here and here. Currently I am testing denyhosts.
I have also installed Apache2 with SSL, subversion, WebSVN (I originally wanted to use Insurrection but failed to configure it).

Atom
I got myself a new PC. It's based on Intel Atom D510 (1.66 GHz, 1M Cache, 2 cores), 1GB RAM, VGA is integrated but I use it as a headless machine. The processor has only passive cooler, so it's completely silent. The board is placed in a Travla C137 case, which has external PSU. I had a spare WD 160G 2.5" USB HDD laying around, so I used it.
I installed Debian Lenny (amd64) on the HDD. It was a bit of PITA, because I used my USB key as an installation medium. After a bit of googling I learned I need to use the 4th primary partition in order to boot from a USB device. There's also a small catch, the configuration of GRUB need to be changed after installation, because the HDD is sdb during install, but sda after the OS is installed (and USB key removed).
Here's the list of web pages that helped me during the install:
The PC is now up and running, I just configured munin on it, here are some resources:

Here's the list of web pages that helped me during the install:
- Debian etch on ThinkPad X31 via USB stick (for dummies like me)
- Boot grml from usb-stick/firewire-device
- Grub Error 24: Attempt to access block outside partition
- Editing /boot/grub/menu.lst to change the GRUB boot menu
- chroot then "update-grub" gives errors
