I am pondering on installing tinyproxy, and openvpn on it so that I can access my hosts from everywhere. Reason for me using TinyBSD instead of PicoBSD, is that my collegue's at Snow are also using TinyBSD and improved the scripts (as you can see in the CVS or currently SVN logs) so that it makes the addition of packages easier, which might not be as easy on different methods. Note that I didn't try them so you should NOT reply on my opinion or argumentation for that :). In the near future (well ``near``) I will be setting up a second Soekris which might be running on PicoBSD or something. I need to figure that out at some point, so that I can do a better argumentation :) Thnx for the reply / comment! Hello,

I see ipfw2 from the dmesg. Any reason you chose TinyBSD over other? Thanks, Simon Would you mind telling us what packages your going to be using? I see ipfw2 from the dmesg.

Any reason you chose TinyBSD over other?

Thanks,
