Hello

I was thinking of cunstructing a small routerbox in my sparetime.
Now since FreeBSD is my choise of OS i was thinking of a small box 
silent box.

So how can I combine speed, size, silence and price?

I was thinking of vias small buget systems (via Eden) and to that an 
extra intel pro 10/100 NIC

Now how much can I expect in loss in throughput when selecting this 
system,since it is a budget system ;)
Its just supposed to shuffle traffic as a router or perhaps as a gateway 
with a simple ipfw firewall.

What extra features should I add to the kernel and are there any othere 
great hints?

/John
