I think I would need the fastest board they currently ship to handle Squid and even then, I'm not sure if it would keep up. There is a note on their website about faster boards coming soon (up to 500Mhz) but they were due "sometime in 2005". I'll have to check with them to see if those are nearing completion yet. Anyway, looks like I could try this one for now: P/N: 10480161 "net4801-60 Board and Case" $290 It has a 266 Mhz NSC SC1100 processor with three 10/100 Mbit ethernet ports, 256MB RAM, CompactFlash socket, UltraDMA-33 interface with 44 pins connector for 2.5" Hard Drive and even has PCI expansion capability. To that, I would need to add a big CF card (1GB?) to act as a disk drive and that should be about it, right? Still a bit more than I was looking to spend. Of course, then the fun starts with figuring out Linux on a CF card again (I have forgotten all that). Since CF cards have a write-limit, maybe a small laptop hard drive would be better for the constant Squid caching.
