Free Firewall IPFire ported to ARM
Marvel's system-on-a-chip (SoC) Kirkwood and compatible ARM processors are the first processors beyond the x86 world, which runs on the open-source firewall IPFire. The modular server distribution that is built on a minimalist, hardened core system is specialized for use as a firewall in small and medium-sized networks and so forth have always been tailored to black-box systems.
So far it worked but only with x86-compatible hardware GENRATION i586 (Pentium) or higher. Now available ARM-based mini-systems such as Global Scales dream plug or plug + guru on the roadmap of the developers. For this purpose they have submitted a first beta of the Kirkwood-porting. It is based on the not yet released version 2.11. A version for the ARMv7hi to follow soon.
