Hi,
I am going to buy a cheap Second hand PC to run my firewall with my cable modem, what is the main 'feature' I should concentrate on, RAM, processor speed or disk speed? I won't be running X or anything, just the firewall stuff.
Cheers
Phil
Hi, Yesterday I had to reinstall my firewall/SambaPrintServer (SuSE6.2). It has this specs: P166, 40MB RAM, 128MB HDD, 2 x Realtek 8139 100 Mbit output of TOP: 90% Idle: 9% used by TOP itself, 7480KB RAM free, while FTP'ing through firewall at 1.8e+03 Kbytes/s output of df : 1024 blocks: 122199 Used: 11120 Capacity: 96% So you should concentrate on: RAM > HDD > mobo > network-cards > processor Notice, 128 MB HDD is too small, I had to do it, because my previous HDD suffered from hardware failure after being used for 5 years.
