New firewall?

Posted: 2005-01-11openbsdfirewall

Currently running an OpenBSD box as firewall on an old slow desktop box that's very noisy. Thinking of changing to mini-itx format.

Probably:

• Compact Flash IDE Adapter - V1
• VIA EPIA PD6000 Mainboard
• Cubid 3677 - Black

Note - I'm intending to use the fanless Eden CPU rather than the C3 fanned CPU. The box has a small fan - but - if this is noisy I can replace this with a quiet fan.

Then all I need is a 256Mb DDR and a CF card - and since the card will be read-only - doesn't even have to be fast.

Thanks to Marius at Conduct for all his advice on this project :-)

Update 12/01 - parts ordered Update 13/01 - parts arrived - and that was with 48 hour delivery! Very good status e-mails from LinITX too.
