Would this be ok? I'm an ASP.NET developer and I'm planning to build "portable" web app servers based on Atom D510 mini-ITX.

I have ran Ubuntu 10 with MySQL along with a separate IIS machines (win 2k3, 2k8) before with no problems.

But now I'm thinking of "packaging" a web/db server into one small, cheap machine.

I thought of Ubuntu/Mono/Postgres/ASP.NET, that it would be a good idea but I'm not sure? I have not actually tried it yet. Your thoughts?

Your biggest problem will be only using calls that Mono supports. It would be easier to package a machine like this using something like Ubuntu/Postgres/ruby or the classic L.A.M.P (Linux Apache Mysql PHP). If you are sure you need to use c# just know there will be some headaches making sure you write code that will be supported by Mono. Make sure you develop on a Linux machine.
