I just wanted to report that I just replaced a Pix 501 with a lenovo q-190 (which is the same physical size) running Zentyal 3.0.21 64bit:

0) Purchase a USB ethernet adaptor for eth1:

3) During install, I erased all partitions (it comes with Windows 8 installed), and then created 4 partitions:
100MB boot partition
4.5GB swap
25GB root /
Remaining GB home /home
It installed easily, and its running great. It looks bigger in the picture, but it is almost exactly the same size as the pix 501. I have them sitting side by side. Now the aging pix is turned off, but ready to function as a back up in case of failure.
