      Anyone running pfsense on a Soekris 6501-70 who wouldn't mind sharing measurements for power consumption at the plug and some performance statistics?

        I got rid of my 6501-50 quite a while ago, but the answers to your questions, in general terms, are, "too much", and "not dramatically faster than an Alix".

        Do yourself a favor and skip it.

        I can break anything.

          Thank you very much for sharing this. I have been seriously in doubt as to whether I should invest in Soekris, but I have found it really hard to actually locate some clear statistical data on usage.
