Around 1998 (into the early 2000's) I ran LRP[0] on a 486 which provided NAT & firewall services behind my cable modem. It booted from a 1.44mb floppy and ran out of ramdisk iirc. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&

When you say 2.2 kUSD do you mean $2,200.00 or $22,000.00? In my locale, the installed figure is at or above $22,000 for a heat pump that is about $3,000 for the unit itself. On the other hand, an electric (no heat pump) hot water tank is
