Hello, can CentOS 6.8 be run on a mini-PC like this? https://www.zotac.com/product/mini_pcs/zbox-ci323-nano would like to configure this as a Firewall, and this should be instead of my router (integratet firewall, NAT) and wlan-ap Thanks, Walter

Do yourself a favour and rethink that with Centos 7, due to very limited function with the kernels from Centos 6, esp regarding WLAN. And even the Centos 7 default kernels may not "fresh" enough. YMMV. - Yamaban.

I'm not an expert; is ip(6)tables still part of CentOS 7?

It should work well with new devices: http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/experimental/ (Both i386 and x86_64 have the 4.4.x LTS kernel) For CentOS 6, there are the ELRepo kernels (ML and LT): http://elrepo.org/linux/kernel/el6/ and the xen kernel: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/virt/x86_64/ Thanks, Johnny Hughes Thanks, Johnny HUghes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
