This was referenced on the BSD subreddit with openBSD as a firewall: http://www.pcengines.ch/apu1d.htm I may consider purchasing this to try out pf and get more in depth knowledge of openBSD. I haven't looked closely enough at it to make 100% certain it will run freebsd but I don't see why not. I like that it has three gigabit ports with console access, too. 2. I have freebsd 10.1-RC4 running on a Beagle Bone black with thttpd compiled from ports. I used to get bummed that packages are old for the ARM platform, but having ports available is very nice and gets me through installing some apps. I know tarsnap won't install on the BBB, could be something I can look into, though. Let us know what you decide! > Thanks, > Chris Maness jb -- ------- inum: 883510009027723 sip: jungleboogie@sip2sip.info xmpp: jungle-boogie@jit.si
