It isn't because there is a generic-pc image available that it should run on a 286 with 256K of ram. There are packages available (Freesco) that run from a floppy, on a 386 with 4MB of RAM. They lack everything I like about m0n0wall! It isn't because the software is free, that the hardware should be too. Don't forget that you need alot more then RAM to run any windows server or most linux servers.
