IMHO, keeping the firewall function completely separate simplifies security. that router board can handle 300 Mbit/sec of

...gh it certainly can run CentOS. supports 8 or 16GB ram, with ECC, and has 4 SATA drive bays. Mine has 4x3TB in raidz (like raid5) for 7.3TiB total usable storage, I have no trouble reading or writing at near gigE speeds. Another good choice would be one of the mini-ITX "Avoton"/"Rangley" Atom C2xxx family of boards (don't let the 'Atom' branding fool you, these are low power high performance server processors). These have 2-4-8 cores at 1.6-2.4ghz, support ECC RAM up to 32GB, and have 6+ SATA ports and 4 gigE ports onboard. A variety of people make mini-ITX...
