[ILUG] firewall

[Philip Creevy]

I am going to use smoothwall to set up a firewall.
I was planning on using a via mini-itx system with a 
flash drive of about 4GB and a 512MB ram drive.
The idea is to have a silent system with no moving parts.

The question is what directory's are changed a lot
besides VAR also how much data would be generated 
and how often would they need to be emptyed.
Will I have a problem if there is no swap drive.
If VAR is in the ram drive and I turn off the system
will I loose any system data.

Note: The flash drive can be got from a MUVO, the muvo
sells in peats for EUR299.
