Such a shame, whilst opnsense looks very good, the recommended hardware
requirements of a little high, I have happily run m0n0 on a soekris net4801
since the first beta releases, and to have to move to a box that has a dual
core CPU, and 1gb of RAM I find hard to swallow.

Thank you Manuel for all your efforts in the pas
