m0n0wall 1.2 runs pretty well on the 4501, but 1.3 just about exceeds he 4501's resources last I checked (during beta) when you try to do anything useful. Although one of my favorite distros, IMO pfSense just won't make it on the 4501 any more. I don't know how either of them will fare on the 4801, but if anyone wanted to send me a spare unit to test... :) I've become pretty attached lately to putting OpenWRT on my 4501s, other than the raw CPU frequency they're actually pretty high in the specifications it normally runs on. Given that you already have the rest of the infrastructure and are just going to be routing for a residential network, the 5501 probably would be overkill, but would give you more flexibility and future. If you need to cut it closer, the 4801 will still be a long-term friend. _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
