Hellow Sven... I dont think u can run FreeBSD @ a Macintosh box, not supported... FreeBSD has plain support to adsl... :) You can read about ipfw, natd, ipfilter and other good stuff about=20 freebsd's firewall, this might be a bood reading on the begin, many=20 articles about firewalling under freebsd can be found, from the freebsd=20 handbook (@ freebsd.org) to other info sites, like bsdtoday.com,=20 freebsddiary.org... u could search for something @ bsdsearch.com and... off course u can run freebsd on a 486.... We have a testing and 'destroyable' server running freebsd 4.1.1-STABLE, on= =20 a 486, 20MB RAM, 2GB SCSI @ my university... it's running pretty well... we have since email and ftp services to DNS... and when we migrated our=20 main server to FreeBSD this one was the server responsible for resolving=20 all the university DNS requests and external clients... and it did it! ]:) FreeBSD is the best OS u can find... and mostly questions on if freebsd can do something or not, u'll have YEAP= =20 as answer..
