on a side-topic, it amuses me that people still recommend using Linux boxes for firewall/NAT work for SME/SoHo applications. why bother with the $^#$%$!! system administration and security issues of Linux when you can buy a Linksys appliance (which incidentally is Linux inside) for less than 5000 which does the job just as well, doesn't crash, doesn't take forever to boot, consumes a tiny amount of power, just sits there day in and day out and has no fan.
i agree. but there are similar hardware specs similar to that (embedded PC) and it's also cheap. but you have to ask the taiwanese / chinese manufacturer for discounts on big volumes. :) _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
