Low power, quiet least expensive firewall option
Am looking for an ipaq or similar sized unit which can server as a firewall (need to be able to be equipped with two NICs). I figure there's some old duron or celeron model that will fit the bill but don't know enough about all the older network appliance and thin client options to know what to look for. I'll be putting Linux on it so I can have logging and use IPTABLEs and NAT. My old duron with it's roaring fans and 300W power supply works great but the noise and size of the thing is getting me down. Suggestions?
