- seanp2k2 11y agoNot $50 and you probably don't already own one, but it can be done on the Uniquiti EdgeRouter Lite ($100, runs Debian MIPS + Vyatta as the default officially-supported Ubiquiti image but very hackable): http://rtfm.net/FreeBSD/ERL/ http://rtfm.net/FreeBSD/ERL/
- pyvpx 11y agoto get the performance people are constantly raving about, you need the very proprietary binary blobs that take full advantage of the Cavium hardware acceleration. otherwise it's just another beefy MIPS machine.
- feld 11y agoYes, this is an important bit of subtext that most people don't realize.
