Yeah, I realize it's more powerful than necessary to handle the 
task...though my current firewall/router is a 860+ Mhz PIII w/ 128 Megs 
of ram.  So, this would be a downgrade for my current firewall/router 
which allows me to repurpose the existing machine for something more 
computationally expensive.

Still though, I like information requested on nanoBSD (can it fit on a 
floppy), and how if booting off a usb stick is doable.  I imagine this 
has to do with later bios's...or not?

Thanks!
