Hi maybe this is not the list but thera are here a
lot of people that
must know something about it recenrtly i found a
blog from jonathan
weiss who says thst wrap are a good solution than
soekries, and what i
want to know it is a recommendation about wich one
to buy ? who has done
this before?
I've installed OpenBSD on both a WRAP and a Soekris.
Basically, the 3 port ethernet WRAP model compares
very well with the soekris 4801.
The soekris does have an full size PCI slot, allowing
you to add up to 4 more ethernet interfaces and a
laptop IDE bus, allowing you to add a 2.5" IDE drive.
Both let you plug in a CF card or micro drive, both
have 3 10/100 NICs, can PXE boot, have a mini PCI
slot, same CPU, same RAM etc, etc.
The WRAP with case can be had for $146 USD, the
Soekris 4801 with case for $240 USD.
For me, the laptop drive is largely worthless--more
noise and uses more power, so I exlude that from my
value equation. CF cards and microdrives are more
than adequate.
So, unless you need more than 3 ethernet NICs, why pay
$100 more for esentially the same hardware?
