Just a short note to alert people about the Soekris devices (http://www.soekris.com)
that can be used to build embedded systems. I now have several of these systems, about
a 5.5" x 8" x .5" metal box with a CPU & 128MB RAM on the board, an external power
supply and either a CF disk or a laptop 2.5" IDE drive connected using an adapter kit
that Soekris supplies.
These boxes can be used for a variety of applications including VPNs or firewalls.
I've got mine running OpenBSD 3.5 with CARP. pfsync, and pf. They make an excellent
failover server/firewall for my colocated net of web and database servers. Could also
run a pass-through/relay version of postfix or sendmail.
Installation requires grokking PXE Boot and more details to follow.
