hi Yate loon fan note... hi I bought the Yate loon fan as they were described in the review, but unfortunately it started clicking and after some investigation I found that the metal rail for the HDD was causing the fan to warp on one side which was causing the problem.. Next I just dremel'd my way ...

Also, looking at the comments above, Home_Network => Home_Network_of_a_Linux_Enthusiast ;-) You can make jokes about this, but there is a real difference between a home network, no matter how complicated, and a serious enterprise network. Do you have > 10 users on your network? Do you have devices ...

hi Monkeh16, Thanks for debating the topic with jessekopelman... jessekopelman: Can you please post links to some of the switches which can do what you are saying you can do. xcuse me, but I am on Monkeh's side I need to run 3 networks on the 3 different ports I am looking at eg port 1=> 10.10.10.0/...

Also, _do_ avoid the mentioned VIA EPIA SN10000EG board. it's heavily overpriced, has a crappy GbE NIC (RX locks up after some time if you'd increase MTU above 1500, at least with the via_velocity driver in a bunch of different kernels in the 2.6.27-2.6.30 range), SATA controller has mediocre perfo...

One thing no one mentioned is the security issue of both your firewall/gateway running on the same machine as your webserver. Keep the 266 machine for firewall/gateway, and then just look into a machine to act as webserver. Also another vote for a separate Gb switch. I can install dd-wrt/openwrt on...

I think it would be far easier to just have one GbE port and use a separate GbE switch (of however many ports you want). gbe0=> WAN/uplink port -> home dsl/cable modem/fiber gbe1=> secure LAN/gateway port gbe2=> DMZ open LAN OR other uses pci-e=>WLAN=>AP usb=> Future WimaX etc... will probably use ...

hi I plan to build a tiny fanless system to use as a home gateway/firewall/webserver as a background I have used NSLU2/debians at home however 32MB RAM and 266Mhz CPU is useless for decent webserving I was looking for a mini-itx or smaller system which has at least 3 gBe ports (overall) and a mini-P...
