even so, im not so sure alot of people with to run a full install on a

USB, though age of system might make that unreliable. even pfsense can run
straight off cdrom, makes a decent option also.

Yeah, I realize it's more powerful than necessary to handle the

allows me to repurpose the existing machine for something more
computationally expensive.

so - downgrade. FreeBSD easily runs (full, not stripped) on 32MB RAM

I did consider running it off a straight cd, but I alter my routes enough through various tunnels I have established that this would be a pain. (i.e. updating vtund configs) The disk-on-module is spot on and that's what I'll probably use: $14 bucks for 128 Megs w/ NanoBSD I believe is goingn to suffice nicely.

Thanks Guys!
