It's running FreeBSD 5.5. I'd like to retire it and its noisy fan (it's in the bedroom right now). I'm wondering about fanless PCs or even a flash-based system. Something I could put FreeBSD on would be nice, but not required. I would like a "general purpose" Unix-like OS however. It needs, - Firewall - 802.11ag - WEP and WPA - IPsec - IPv6 - SSH The price? Lower the better obviously. I've Googled for stuff, but was hoping for some recommendations from people with similar working setup that they are happy with. Anyone out there? -- Crist J.
