hmm, I thought about them as they are inexpensive, and I could have FreeBSD even on small power
footprint boxes. I assume any port (from FreeBSD ports ;) would be overkill :)

so, what hardware you recommend ? I saw a Dlink that has USB, can that be used as storage ? I
figure this won't come cheap, but would be great to have FreeBSD+ipfw+pf+iperf on such small dev
:)

I plan to do this some time in the future, I just have to finish a course of mine, and will try to
get on these :)

I'll keep on the list and try to catch up to the project as much as I can :)
