Ricardo, I've been running one on a P3 233 with 256MB RAM... I would imagine 64 would be fine for a home network.
Also, since there is no GUI, you needn't worry. :) I would say give it a shot and see what happens. :) jmho -Jim -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ricardo Castanho de Oliveira Freitas Sent: Thursday, December 09, 2004 3:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Security Firewall] new home-network setup - hints requested Hi, I�ve tried MNF before but for the time I considered using just shorewall for my home network. It�s been great and, that�s the point to consider now. Currently I have 1 PII-400 w/ 512 Ram and 2 hd, cd-rw and cd-player with Mdk9.2 as a firewall and mail server. ADSL dhcp connection. The intended config is as follow: I have 1 old machine Pentium 266 w/ 64 ram and 2 hd and cd-player (all of them have also floppy) I would like to use this machine for my future firewall only (I can see no other use for it!). Too big for paper-weight ;-) So, is it possible to install MNF on such machine? (no GUI required! CLI would be fine!) I�ve heard about distributions based on boot-from-CD method, but I would like to stick with mdk and shorewall. I intend to move the mail server (and everything else to the and athlon (?) 1.6 and leave the PII-400 for my daughter (windows user, yet!) Any hint on that 'poor old� machine?
