For the price paid it can't be beat. I've seen smaller systems go for
much more so figured I had room to grow. At some point I maybe be able
to have to virtual machines on this unit and use one for a media center
or cloud backup for the home business. Are their packages available for
this? I don't really see anything that leads me to believe pfSense could
be used in the way which is why I'm thinking virtual. What software is
available to do virtual machines?

Are we talking fan noise? Hard drive noise?
Also a comment was made about power. What are we talking?
The general comments about how a PE2850 is overkill in the described home
environment.

Forgive me for saying so, but that's a massive
overkill for routing a 15Mbps connection. Granted, it'd be
entirely appropriate if you were routing multiple gig

consumption might be justified, but in a home environment,
you're just burning through electricity for the sake of it.
Of course, if you're going to run pfSense as a VM under a
hypervisor with several other VMs, then I take all the above
back :-) Kind regards, Chris
Not to mention that if I ran a PE 2850 at home there
would probably be complaints about the noise!!! Those things
*scream* in the audible sense!!!
