I currently have a normal I386 pc (pentium IV - 1,6GHz with 512MB RAM and a 20GB HDD)... Let's say if I want to replace this with a Soekris unit... how should I compare this to a normal pc ?

I have about 10 ipsec VPNs, 4 VLAN's, some traffic shaping and some packages installed (I am planning on either using a CF HDD or if I need to take one of the Soekris boards that have an IDE/SATA connector, I'd install a small 2,5" HDD ofcourse). Because of the CF HDD (and not CF Flash) I asume I can "safely" install the full version - and in doing so, I would have all functionality like I have now on my Pentium IV ??

Sure, I can take the net 5501-70, but this might as well be overkill...

I'm also planning on installing another Soekris at home (with a monowall CF card as "backup", and pfSense (CF HDD) for daily use - I assume I can exchange the config.xml between mono & pfsense for that matter ?) the home router is just an old PentiumIII 600mhz, I guess any Soekris will do just fine here at home ?


I am currently weighing my options, since I cant make up my mind - in either buying Alix, Wrap, Soekris or just plain stay with a normal (intel) motherboard... the advantage of having a normal motherboard, is that I can use gbit cards ofcourse (which either Alix, Wrap & Soekris does not offer today)... not that I have any use for gbit at home (all my switching is gbit, but my internet is just about 20mbit)
