Re: Cheap small factor computer

I know that there exists no ARM port of m0n0wall.

I believe that the pfSense developers are working on an ARM port, but I'm not sure how far along it is.

There does exist some ARM support in vanilla FreeBSD, but I'm not sure how usable it is for the platform you're looking at:

Subject: [m0n0wall] Cheap small factor computer

Hi there

I stumbled over GuruPlug Server Plus, a small factor computer which can 
be plugged into the wall power 
plug:http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/t-guruplugdetails.aspx#features
The Plus version with two LAN-ports is about 89 EUR, which I finde quite 
cheap.

Specs:
- 1,2 GHz ARM processor
- 512 MB DDR2 RAM
- 512 MB Flash
- 2x Gbit Ethernet
- 1x eSATA
- 2x USB 2.0
- 1x internal MicroSD
- 1x external MicroSD
- Wi-Fi 802.11b/g
- RS-232 and Mini-USB for console
- Hardware support for AES, DES, 3DES, SHA1, MD5
- under 5W power consumption (!)

I wonder if this platform qualifies for m0n0wall. I've read that there 
are FreeBSD distributions that run on the ARM CPU...

Your thoughts?
