Hi,
I am investigating a bit about m0n0wall & pfSense... to my knowledge, it
seems that a CF card is not really a good medium to have many writes
onto... so currently I am running m0n0wall for that reason.
I know the embedded version of pfSense is comparable with m0n0wall (eg.
loading into ramdisk etc)
But let's assume I buy an ALIX board, and I put a Microdrive (instead of
a CF-card), would I be able to install the complete image and not only
the embedded version ???
I assume that I first have to install it on an ordinary pc (since the
Alix won't support the LiveCD (and in fact a CDROM drive) to install
it), and then put the Microdrive card into the CF-card slot of the Alix ???
My questions would be :
- will the LiveCD-version function on an Alix board ?
- is a MicroDrive better for read/write access
- is a MicroDrive noisy ??
- would you recommend an Alix Board + Microdrive + pfSense full version
+ some packages (my preffered packages would be : ntop, iperf &
imspector + eventually some proxying)
Because of the size of my m0n0wall PC at home, I am considering this
Alix to save some space (ok, it's in the basement, but still I'd like it
smaller :-) ) - and when the Microdrive is silent enough, and can
function with the full version of pfSense, I am considering in moving
into an Alix+Microdrive + pfSense full version (so I can add some packages)
Kind regards,
Michel
