After rolling my own firewall / internet gateway / SMB media server / torrent machine. I decided to give m0n0wall a try out.

pretty darn slick if you ask me. It was a breeze to setup, the network auto-detection is a nice feature, and the SVG based traffic graph is cool eye candy…

In fact I am now in the market for a small fanless low powered PC… top on my canidate list is a VIA CL6000, IDE -> CF adapter, no floppy, no cdrom, no harddrive … this is probably overkill for strictly a firewall router. but who knows I could always recommission it as a set top box… plus were only talking about around 300$ total, and it is totally silent!!
