You can also look at the WRAP platform a little cheaper than the soekris but
still powerful with 3 interfaces, minipci slot and cf slot.
Pictures and Info can be found here http://www.pcengines.ch/wrap.htm
Also list a bunch of the different fw platforms built for it.
Great little boxes.

Thanks
John

The distro you're looking for is AstLinux. I love those Soekris units, but
they're a bit on the expensive side (worth it, but not cheap). I have a half
dozen of them in the field and in the lab.
