great to know, as I'm planning on buying alix or soekris (better sata and ide support - power pins). but what you use as disk, flash based cf disks ? I'd like to use microdrive as disk, but I'm unable to do so in any freebsd (7.x/8). they just can't recognize it. openbsd does though. via mini itx and seagate microdrive. I'm kidda new in pfsense for real use (though I read about it long time ago, but no real use yet), so how to not use all flash writes (how much time embedded saves flash memory) and how about all security updates from FreeBSD ? thanks, matheus > On Thu, Apr 9, 2009 at 12:13 AM, Joseph L.
