I'm running pfSense at home on a single core Atom box with one NIC. LAN is untagged, Guest LAN, WAN and Alternate WAN are tagged. Works like a charm. Of course, this presumes the firewall is plugged into a managed switch. On Mon, Feb 2, 2015 at 1:17 PM, Mark J. Bailey m...@jobsoft.com wrote:

Flash storage is not included in any Raspberry Pi. In the first iteration, an SD card slot was present for you to present your own. Today, the slot is SDHC (which also allows for SDXC -- I've tried it; it works). On Mon, Feb 2, 2015 at 11:46 AM, Mark J. Bailey m...@jobsoft.com wrote: I haven’t

Not quite. The version skip was caused by the method that some programs were parsing the version string. They saw "Windows 95" and "Windows 98" as being equivalent to "Windows 9". Skipping the "Windows 9" designation bypassed that issue.Mike-Original Message- From: Curt Lundgren

I don't think so, I think it's a great move by Microsoft to grow the Raspberry Pi community, and to give choice. Especially since they can't force bundle Windows. I might be a Linux guy, but Windows isn't as horrible as people think, if you use it appropriately. 'With the first link, the

I think it's wonderful that they plan to get Windows small enough to run efficiently in 1GB of memory. Perhaps one day, they'll even get it small enough that you can run an application, in addition to the OS, in that 1GB of memory. On Mon, Feb 2, 2015 at 11:28 AM, Mark J. Bailey m...@jobsoft.com

Again, haven't yet really dug into details on it, but might it possibly run FreeBSD (as in pfSense)? If it might, then, assuming at least a couple of NICs, would make for a truly interesting (to me) possibility. -Original Message- From: nlug-talk@googlegroups.com

My biggest problem with windows, other than the huberous they have shown since the '70s, and closed source nature of their business, is they cannot be trusted to keep projects that make sense going, especially if it makes the more cents. I dislike the 'black box' patching system, but that goes
