  Best part about pfSense is the diskless capabilities.  We use it in
an old 800 Mhz machine with no HD.  Boots from CD, reads it's config
off of a read only floppy.  When we need to make modifications, we
just have to pop the floppy out, and make it writeble again.

  Been pondering getting a HD for it tho, for Snort use,
