FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE
1GB ram
Several Intel FastE Cards
Flash card for booting/config
Hard Disk for logs

My advice is don't use Linux, last 2-3 installations I've seen using it
couldn't handle the packet load. I do know of one active installation that
seems to be ok, but the guy that runs it is very determined to make it
work and has the knowlege to back it up (most don't).
