Linux is slowly fading away. So I would like to replace them with a
router/gateway computer.
It should run Debian.
It should either have two gigabit (or better) Ethernet interfaces or
have suitable expansion capability.
It should be quiet: no fans, and low power requirements. A small
physical footprint would be nice.
Most of the time it will run headless, but occasionally I will need to
stick a monitor and keyboard on it. VGA will do fine.
It will be a router. It will have at least DNS, DHCP, apt-cacher-ng and
firewalld on it. Modest disk and RAM will be fine.
WiFi is handled elsewhere for now, but I won't turn it down.
SSD for storage would be nice, although the FIT-PCs do fine with IDE
spinning rust.
I am in the process of solving almost the exact same problem. At the
moment, this is my leading candidate:

This looks too good to be true and raises many red flags.
