I'm making a firewall for a friend, and she wants to set it up and forget about it -- and preferably not hear it! Thus, low power requirements are a Very Good Thing in this case. If I can get away with no HDD and no fans, I'll be happy.
Dan suggested PicoBSD, but I notice that project really doesn't have a lot of activity. Is it secure enough? Is there anything out there that's more current, and aimed straight at firewall/router duties?
http://www.zelow.no/floppyfw/ is a similar project in the Linux world, but I'd rather stay in the *BSD world if I can. NetBSD firewall (http://www.dubbele.com/) is another option, but I'd love for this to be totally diskette-based, no HD required.
