Re: RAM for Stuart!

I use an IPC maxed out with 48MB of RAM (woo hoo...)
as my firewall and router machine. I'm running RHL 6.2
(used to run Solaris (slow-Larry's) 2.6). It works
great, I average one reboot a year, and it's been up
without a crash for over five years.

SBUS 10 Base-T cards are dirt cheap on eBay, and you
can get an adapter for the built-in old-school AUI
ethernet.

One word of advice, don't run a GUI on this box. It is
almost impossible to use.

Good luck!
