      Hello,

      I want to install pfsense on FC3 server that is currently in production. Can any one tell me what measures should i take before installation without shutting any service on same linux box. One more question is that from where can i get source code for pfsense.

      Thanx.

        Sorry man, you're out of luck!

        pfSense is FreeBSD and NOT Linux.
        Repeat after me: FreeBSD is NOT Linux.
        OK, your turn now!  2, 3, 4, louder, I can't hear you!

        pfSense is a complete distribution like your FC. You cannot run CentOS on top of that either.
        Well, except for a VM, but that's a different story…
