[GRLUG] Hardware - another freebie from me too!

[Bill Littlejohn]

It looks like it _should_ work, but is largely untested. 
I would still like to hear what luck Colin has on the X700 hardware with Pyramid Linux. Personally I would love to run Debian on it. These things are damned expensive to keep licensed, a major pain to get licensed correctly if you're in damage control mode, and have Windows only management tools. Not to mention having a black box as a security solution never sat well with me. However, I'm too chicken to tear into my failover box without knowing for sure that something is going to work reliably.

It looks like ddwrt is possible on the Firebox(es):
