I'd love to just borrow one. I've got a Soekris net4501, but I've been prebuilding/priming a CF, then simply copying the image as needed. It works "well enough" but doesn't quite scale since you have to mount the image, then modify it, unmount, then push the image. I'd rather bootstrap, install automagically (via scripts), then shut down and ship. > I can also imagine one of our sysadmin friends building some > "loaner firewalls" with the Alix boards to facilitate contract > sysadmin.
