What I'd like to see is a box like the Sun Netra x1 http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hw/networking/netrax/ that I can run FreeBSD on -- - single PII 233 - 1U (compact) 19" rack-mountable - no video, just RJ-45 RS232 port - 2 onboard 10/100 ethernets - 1 IDE drive is fine - 256MB of RAM for $995. I've even (*gasp*) considered buying the Netra x1 because I can't find a compact 1U FreeBSD for $995 with the remote, lights-out management type features this thing has.
