In production with pfSense 2.0 RC1 x86
-
Hello,
after 3 months of testing and studying pfSense, as planned, today we went in production with pfSense 2.0 RC1 x86… two machines in fault tolerance (2 x Pentium D, SSD HD and Intel DP Nics), 5 interfaces per machine (including a dedicated CARP), and what I am most proud of, a nice LCD panel to see the status of the machine (see pic attached, even if I am still searching a decent case)... of course we had a nice surprise today (also Chris), but things went great…What to say? Thanks to Jim and Chris for their support (and to the support team), I hope things will go great as they were until now...
Regards,
Michele

Nice. Those stats on the LCD are sweet!

I'm curious about your setup if you're able to share, love the LCD heads up display.

Easy… I was using a package called LCDProc... the problem is that package is not updated and I had to compile the latest version in order to get the specific driver for my LCD panel... then I had to update the package to let choose/use the new driver...
finally I found out that the package didn't care about the size of the LCD panel, but was using only a 16x2 fixed layout... so I worked again a bit on the package and made the screen size used (my panel is 20x4 chars)
Now every time I update pfSense I need to update manually the package uploading the correct files, until the changes I made will be merged in the "distribution release" of pfSense...
