Well of course the os is proprietery....It's cisco's ....
But it runs on intel architecture, boots from compatible flash, and uses
standard nics....hence the abillity to run the os from a "pc" Even though
this pc would have to have the nics that the os supports as well as the
flash, it should still be possible.

Unless things have changed in the past year or so, you cannot build a Pix on
a PC. The PIX has a proprietary OS, which is specifically touted as NOT
being portable to a PC platform. Since the OS is proprietary, it is
considered less subject to attack than those sitting on known and vulnerable
(MS & unix) operating systems.
Hope this helps
