PfSense on supermicro atom boards
-
I am new to BSD and pfSense. Very excited to start learned. Got a supermicro motherboard and want to see if anyone has installed pfSense or has any issues with the Atom mobo's before I get started. I know it's probably more processing power than needed but its what I have atm.

I'm using the same board in my pfSense box with 4GB & an SSD.
Works like a charm ….

Ditto, but I have the non-IPMI version.

Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to setting up pfSense on it ;D

I can't seem to see anything after the BIOS boots and after it looks to boot off CD. I have tried other OSs and it works fine. I can see the bootup and install screen on Knoppix CDs and untangle.
Not sure what the problem is or how to fix. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have the X7SPA, http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/ATOM/ICH9/X7SPA.cfm?typ=H&IPMI=Y

I'm also looking for Intel Atom dual mini-itx board, I would like to install pfSense in hypervisor becouse want to use other VM for Apache/PHP/MySQL server.
Just looking for low-power, green & if possible - fan less solution.
INTEL D945GCLF2 should be ok? -
It is time to replace my 1998 HP Kayak with something brand new. I am looking for a dual-NIC Atom-based solution and something that is all solid-state. The last time I checked this forum, I found one computer at NEwegg that was pretty close. But it only had a 300G hard drive.
Anybody have anything with a SSD? URL to and the whole deal?
thanks.

Here's my build. Totally silent, decently quick for an 8-line mlppp. I'm intending to run squid on it but it hasn't happened yet for various reasons:

Just picked up the following 1u server on sale. I am pretty sure it is going to be great compared to my Celeron 800 (o/c to 1ghz). Any experience with this particular server. Seems like a great deal.!
