Thank you, but Soekris 6501 costs as much as the double of Alix. Just to have (for what I really need for a SO solution) +256 MB ram +100 MHz CPU +GBit ethernet My question is (is there any magician around?): will the investement on a new ALIX.2D13 system board (LX800 / 256 MB / 3 LAN / 1 miniPCI / USB / RTC battery) make sense meaning it will support last releases of pfSense for at least the next 3 years? Does somebody know other reliable and cheap "embedded" platforms running pfSense with no problem? Assuming that the pfSense development was keeping ALIX in serious consideration for the nanobsd version, is it going to substitute ALIX with an other platform? (The question shoud be: "Which are newer "supported" embedded platforms?" But the "supported" term may be too heavy)
