In Part 1, I discussed why I’m moving my home router from VyOS on an old 1U Xeon E5-2683v4 to a Minisforum MS-01 mini-PC. I’m largely looking to save power (and money, noise, and heat) by switching to a more efficient platform. My main concerns are (a) how should I actually configure the MS-01 and (b) how will it perform? This article will cover configuration and migration, and Part 3 will cover performance.
