Installing pfsense on a running server

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…
