[nzlug] Energy saving Linux

Hi,

I want to cut my electricity costs and am considering to replace a Compaq 
ML370 with a less energy hungry piece of equipment. Basically, the ML370 runs 
LAMP+BiIND9+dhcpd+Squid (+iptables, of course). Are there any routers or WLAN 
access points around that would be able to run these apps on top of Linux?

I've got a Belkin F5D7230-4 WLAN access point which apparently runs Linux 2.4, 
but the last thing I've heard is that it's flash memory is too small to do 
anything reasonable with it...

Cheers,
Raimund
