I have been trying to build a low power version of the Astaro firewall for home use with V6.x.
I finally found sufficient bits and pieces to make one up using a Celeron 533, 320mb of PC 100 ram and IDE 20gb UDMA 66. Worked well on the test bench, statistics all showed up, the graphs were working well. The thing is a little slow to startup from power off.
Under load of 7 PCs (4 active) the graphs and statistics disappeared. I followed the instructions from on a thread in one of the other pages, no affect. At one stage duringthe nigh some graphs appeared for a short time, but no more. While TOP shows the CPU is idle after about 5 minutes from boot, I have trouble getting any reports or stats or graphs to find out what is happening. It swaps to about 120mb, which probably means I should add a stack of ram? TOP showed spare ram of 18mb.
I have a complex time management setup for a couple of users.
Questions
1/. is a Celeron 533 capable of running a Astaro successfully the MB will go to a Celeron 1.1g if I can find one or a P3 equivalent.
2/. would 512mb be enough?
My current box is shown in my signature.
Interestingly the Celeron installed faster than the AMD 64 2800.
