Hi Michael,
During last night my IPFire hardware died. The ssd is still okay. Tested that out on another computer and could mount it and access files with no problems. The hardware just doesn't do anything on the serial connection and after a while even the Power LED stopped shining, although the network leds still flashed away.
Anyway, I have no internet connection at all now. Am making this communication via a friends house.
I have placed an order for a mini appliance. The order screen said that the order was successfully placed. Hopefully you still have some stock of the appliance and hopefully the delivery time is not too long.
Fingers crossed for a speedy delivery. In the meanwhile, there will be no real communication from me to the mailing list or the community forum.
All the best,
Adolf.
