The only real problem with using this old beastie as a firewall is that it probably pulls somewhere around 200 watts of power, so you could save a ton of money very quickly by simply purchasing an ARM or ATOM based computer at full price and using that for a firewall. It should pay for itself

there is that. sometimes though, those ARM devices can't handle as much as a full blown monster. there are some times where having a slightly more powerful cpu would be handy. -Eric On Mar 18, 2011, at 12:46 AM, Brian Cluff wrote: > The only real problem with using this old beastie as a firew

Perhaps an ARM would have some difficulties (I don't honestly know about that), but an ATOM would run circles around that ol' thing. ;) -- -Eric 'shubes' On 03/18/2011 01:14 AM, Technomage Hawke wrote: there is that. sometimes though, those ARM devices can't handle as much as a full blown mons

Nicely done Brian. I don't seem to be able to log in though. And if I tell it I forgot my password then when I give it my email address it says invalid token. Do we need to create a new account on the new server? On Fri, Mar 18, 2011 at 6:38 AM, Lisa Kachold wrote: > WOOO!!! > > Looks good! > >

Yup, you need to create new accounts. We'll probably be getting rid of the new account funcationality since there isn't any reason for someone that isn't going to edit the website to have an account. That could change in the future but for now it's not worth dealing with the headaches caused
