I'm setting up mine.  I've got a =very= old notebook (Toshiba T3400CT) that 
wasn't doing anything else.  I installed FreeBSD 4.8-p13 on it last 
night.  I'll use com1 for the console and a PCMCIA ethernet for a LAN.  The 
hacker's guide (http://m0n0.ch/wall/hack/) shows how to set up a PXE boot 
and an NFS mounted root, so you only have to burn a CF when you're sure 
you've got it right.

Along that line, is anyone working on integrating VRRP (Virtual Router 
Redundancy Protocol) RFC-2338 into m0n0wall?  If not, I think I'll give it 
a go.  We'd like to use a pair of net4801s with automated failover for our 
exterior firewalling.

I'll grant that with no moving parts, and a hardware watchdog to catch 
runaway software, a single net4801 will probably be more than sufficient, 
but we have to survive single-point-of-failure (SPOF) by our customers 
sometimes.
