Slow as dirt performance on these as well as you have to open up ports to do
certain things. Those are great if you just do IM, email, ftp, etc. If you
need anything more hefty stick to a Linux/BSD/GNAT or a Sonicwall firewall.
All are good choices and run with a faster processor (Sonicwall comes with a
low grade pentium, and use a pentium 90+ for the *nix type builds).
