In my latest post (Switching to kernel 2.6), I spoke quickly about my firewall. In the comments, I was asked for information about it. So I decided to write a new post. My firewall is based on a micro-ATX PIII mainboard with an Intel Celeron 600. I know that it is too much for my use (the load is almost always 0), however I already had the mainboard. This processor is one of the slowest processor that the mainboard accepts (the lowest speed is 500 MHz). Anyway that kind of processor is a good...| Aurélien Jarno
