I always thought I was weird running all my recycled appliances at home. The best thing is this: I have NO Linux/FreeBSD knowledge but I have successfully run three appliances for YEARS! I run Zoneminder (video surveillance) and FreeNAS (i reuse all my old harddisks into a huge terrabyte backup solution) and for Firewall I run IPCOP/COPFILTER (firewall, filtering, spam etc) for 3 years it is a wonderfully sound and easy firewall appliance. You should add it to the list of must-haves. Yes they do generate heat. But aesthetically - ? What's not to like!! thanks :-) Great article.
