[HH] single board computers for use as a router

[Jon Evans]

While not open source, Mikrotik's RouterOS is pretty sweet.  It's free if
you buy their hardware, and they have a $60 5-port gigabit router.  It is
based on Linux and supports KVM; while it does not have built-in IDS (at
the moment) they have a wiki article about using KVM to add a guest OS to
run SNORT or your IDS of choice.

Their hardware is also great for the money.  Routing performance on mine
has been flawless on my heavily used 50Mbit line.
