I did exactly what Sean did myself several months ago. Purchased a 2d13
board from Netgate [1]. I boot off a 2GB CF card, and stuck a cheap USB HD
off of the alix board. The thing just runs without any fuss. I use it to
connect my home network to another network via OpenVPN over my home Internet
connection. When I get around to it, I might throw a mini-pci 802.11b/g card
in there to create a WAP.
