Wow, I guess back in the day, I had one great smelling pig, then (at least my mom didn't complain that it stunk up the place). Replacing the box wasn't really an option at the time, and the 100 MHz Pentium with a mere 32M of RAM worked admirably right up until the hard disk finally gave up the ghost. (The same role is now filled by a 600 MHz Athlon with 128M of RAM, which of course is way overkill for a basic firewall/router with Squid, but the only box I have not otherwise occupied.) -- Shawn K.
