I can share some experiences - a) If you go with an embedded 
solution(Alix or others), select a very good CF card. Had one which 
lasted for years, SanDisk I think and the last few have been junk, b) if 
you are looking at a more traditional machine, go with a 3.5", single 
platter spinning drive - no SSDs, and finally c) configure a system, 
turn logging off and burn an image - if something happens to your setup, 
a restore is just a cd boot away until you get a more permanent solution 
in place.
