Same here, except FreeBSD running PF. Net5501 Love it! I've been running
it for over a year now.
Here are my specs:
------------------------------
>From Soekris:
------------------------
1 x net5501-70 Board and 1 Slot standard
Case (10550170)
1 x 2.5" SATA hard drive mounting kit for
the net5501 (14550120)
1 x Power Supply, 12V, 3.0A, IEC320-C8 inlet
90V-264V Worldwide (31211230)
- Power Cord Type A C8 (US type)
------------------------------------------------------
Newegg:
80GB 2.5" SATA (Samsung I think)
In the process of building a custom mini-rack for it.
