New [old] server


I've found an old computer that was catching dust in a corner of my room so I decided to make something useful out of it. It's an old 800 MHz Athlon with something over 300 RAM and 20GB hard drive. I'll install pfSense and make a nice router out of it. I have a couple of external hard drives that I don't use, so I'll probably hook them up to backup stuff too.
pfSense is an open source firewall based on m0n0wall/FreeBSD. It has a nice web interface and it's quite easy to configure.
Here are some screenshots of pfSense: http://www.pfsense.org/screenshots/
