About hardware... Standart desktop motherboard with vlan support is enough Standart processor core2 or amd k10 with 2 cores is enough Standart 2 SATA harddrives (for software raid 1) is enough Standart DDR2 memory kit 1 or 2 GBytes is enough Standart case is enoght (400 W)
I think that the cost of standart non 19-inch's server $500 or less 04.04.2011 10:12, Michael Zoet пишет:
In a simple office (one server, one internet connection, 10 clients) I use arno-iptables. In another network I have 3 firewalls managed with FWBuilder (protecting 75 servers reachable on the internet). What software you use depends on your demand. You already got some suggestions ;-). The firewalls do not have a high hardware demand. Normal 19" servers with 1 GB Ram or up and a good modern CPU does the job. But you should use good hardware! ( I mean not the cheap one! Invest some money in the right hardware and you run your router for a long time!)
