      Anyone have tried to deploy pfSense 2.0.1 or better to IBM x3250 M4 machines? Is there anyway I can install the software to that machine? I'm still waiting for IBM to provide me with IBM Server Guide for Unix/BSD OS. Any thoughts? Suggestions please. Thanks  :)

        Assuming it is a "standard" x86 system and you can configure it to boot from a CD or USB stick I expect you should be able to install pfSense on it. However I have no experience with that system type.

        I would be inclined to try pfSense 2.0.3 (the current released version) or (especially if the system was first released less than 3 years ago) a snapshot build of pfSense 2.1 which has more current device drivers than pfSense 2.0.x and so is more likely to work with newer hardware.

        It would also be worth take a walk through the pfSense documentation pages at http://doc.pfsense.org
