Hmmm, interesting....guess I need to look harder.... I have thought on occasion of finding something to try running pfSense....though I'm looking for gigabit <$200.
I'm currently in a rush to migrate services DNS/NTP/Radius/DHCP/etc from a pair of boxes running Ubuntu that EOLs now.....to a pair of Shuttle XS36Vs running FreeBSD.... When I had upgraded 8.04LTS to 10.04LTS it destroyed one of the servers. (an upgrade bug that was apparently fixed a couple weeks after I got bit) Plus it also downgraded them into 'desktops', because they're only 32-bit machines. So, at first I was delaying upgrading to 12.04LTS as long as possible...when I decided that I would go FreeBSD instead. Finally decided that I should get cracking around March 27th. And, now one of the old boxes has been locking up a lot lately.... So, I had wondered if I could build something similar as a router... though had only found one possibility with 2 - Gb NICs.... it didn't have serial though, ----- Original Message ----- > Close to that budget: > 1.
