Quentin,
    Any chance you could share some of your thoughts on Untangle? Like how
does this compare to other, appliance type packages (e.g. Smoothwall,
Monowall, IPCop, etc.). What's the resource utilization like? On their
website they are talking about a minimum recommended processor being a P4.
I'd like to implement something like this but would prefer something I can
run on something like a Sokris or one of the VIA boards.
