Full of course, come on, you've got a pretty decent PC with heaps of RAM. Not exactly embedded-sized, save the VGA output you never need anyway, and the power consumption. Nano is for rock-bottom hardware specs, which the APU is not. Thinking SSDs are the way to go I put in a PC Engines SSD (good price, afterall) with updated firmware as soon as it became available in mid/late May, and added squid and squidguard for my own protection. Bad idea. Pfsense locked dead for the first time in early Sep, got pretty hot too (does the CPU clock/power control fail with disk IO errors?). Bottom line, squid and SSD are not a good combo. The new SSDs from PC Engines with physon controller are much better, good SMART support too, but my plan is to run pfsense of the SSD and locate the squid cache and log files on a 2.5" spinning platter. With PC Engines' special SATA cable it might still all fit into the case. pfsense 2.1.5 Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is list0570 with the domain in header. http://volker.top.geek.nz/ Please do not CC list postings to me. _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
