Re: [pfSense Support] pfsense on mac mini?
Tier 2 platform, don't even both with it until it's a Tier 1 platform unless you like fixing things. http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/ppc.html I'd also like to point out that we've had nothing but issues with usb keyboards and that's all that currently works in the PPC port. Wait another year and a half or so and it won't matter. --BillOn 9/12/05, dny [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: btw.i read somewhere, freebsd does run on maci even seen the screenshoots...-To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [pfSense Support] pfsense on mac mini?
yes i know you guys so lucky with so many platform to choose from... in my country (indonesia), i cant find any mini-itx. no epia either. no soekris. no routerboard. no wrap. only expensive barebones from asus, that the closest things i can have here. and the tax and shipping charge is s high i cant even think to buy from online store... - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

A base mini is $499, and you'd have to add USB NIC's to that. You could get a 1U rack mountable box with 3 NIC's that'll push 100 Mb at wire speed for that price, and not deal with something that isn't rack mountable and has USB NIC's hanging all over the place. Or build a mini ITX box for cheaper, with internal NIC's. I have a mini and love it, but I'd never consider using one for a firewall. -cmb - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [pfSense Support] pfsense on mac mini?
ironsystems.com has great 1U half length P4 ~2.4GHz/256mb/80gb boxes for like $800, have a ton of them at my workplace for DNS servers, dhcp, etc etc. Dual fxp cards and room for an additional pci card, dont know how fast the motherboard is in terms of keeping up with say a 4 port 100mb card, but the price is right and the boxes are rock solid, we run openbsd on all of them and have never had a problem, not a minute of downtime in the year or so I've been there. Kinda OT, but good info for someone possibly :) -Ian On 9/9/05, Chris Buechler [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: dny wrote: it's quite small hardware and doesnt take too much space. i think, it's pretty good candidate to put into rack rather than other expensive rackmounted hardware... it's not going to work, as Scott said, but...really, you're kidding, right? :) Expensive rack mounted hardware?

Re: [pfSense Support] pfsense on mac mini?
Kinda OT, but good info for someone possibly :) Well, since we're sharing hardware platforms, here are two of my favorites: http://www.advantech.com/products/Model_Detail.asp?model_id=1-U89QYBU=NCGPD= http://www.mbx.com/oem/reference_platforms/RP-1013.cfm Both have space for a Soekris 1411 or 1401, both have CF on the motherboard... If any of you can get old Symbol WS-5000 chassis (I HATE the OS) from someone, you should be able to get them pretty cheap, and they're just perfect - already have one P-III 1GHz in them and have space for another, plus typically 256MB of RAM and a 256MB DOM - lots of fun you can have with that. Dual standard IDE controllers, 2x USB, 2x fxp, a serial port. Contact me if you need help getting past the headless BIOS. :-D Heck, I'd buy one myself if they were cheap. Don't care about the AXPs or software, though. RB - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Great. Want to donate a builder box to the project? i think, it's pretty good candidate to put into rack rather than other expensive rackmounted hardware... It may be, but we do not own the hardware. And the Macs that I do own are not being converted to FreeBSD. Scott - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
