I ordered a Soekris 6501 today, which has 1GB of RAM. I presume I'll have a much better experience with that then I've had trying to squeeze things into 256M. Thanks for the reply, Chris. I appreciate it. Have a great 4th weekend. -Erik _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
