Dripping with sarcasm or truly thankful? Personally, compiling the kernel for an i586 vs. an i686 would benefit many users and don't see why it's not being considered.
Yeah HTMLSpinnr, you are right on this! I think without implementing i586 support they kick out a lot of home license users. But maybe thats the whole plan!?

I afraid that I will have to mo to other FW because I need pptp connection and my computer is 166 mmx Sad, I like the astaro more then the other 
Hi all, it would not only kick out homeusers. I have bought last month a NOKIA-IP 330 actual version (made in 2002) and i wont believe at the first moment wich CPU is in it AMD K6/2. It is not for asl use but it's fast enough for RealSecure IDS or Checkpoint FW/1 use. So can someone tell me why astaro is not running on this plattform ?
I second that. I have an EPIA mother board w/ a via C3 800mhz processor and it will not work on this, but mandrake's MNF, smoothwall, and checkpoint all run fine, and using 2 percent of my CPU resources if that. going with more powerful hardware is not an option since, my requirements include low power consumption, which the EPIA fulfills very well, and other CPU's don't. What Gives?!?!?!?! [:S]
Appliances by official partners (Pyramid) run with C3/Eden processors - so CPU power cannot be the problem. On standard T-DSL any three-digit MHz x86 should be fine I recon.
I dont know what you mean by to slow. I am running ASL on a 166MHz machine without any problems. I am using it with all features including pptp and CPU load has never been an issue.
to vtanger:
I read a lot of your posts and I figured that you are really comfortable with the subject. I believe that if even you disagree with the policy of not suporting slow processors there must be something strange! But maybe someone of ASL can explain to us where the difficulties are.
to everyone:
And as I final statement I want to remember one of the reasons which brought the "hype" of Linux OS'es! It was that old, already dumped PC's could be reused for a very benefiting way. We shouldnt forget this here.
Sure Jim you are right....its always very handy to have another machine to play around with. To explain where I am coming from: I am student and I am using ASL to secure my private network. In the close future I can not of course see myself using a gigabit connection. [:)]ne. I dont really complain about the work Astaro is doing since their product is just great. Its just that I am in my examinations which will keep me busy another 6 month and my system is running fine at the moment keeping any trouble away of me. I just dont like the idea of ripping all the gear out of my rack since I could need this extra time far better for preparing my exams. Thanks for the hint of useful solution for the old 166 but I have another 166 already running offering your mentioned services. Never mind I guess I just have to see how ot goes and might invest some more time.
