Also, a Soekris box has enough power for IDS in certain situations. Would I put it in front of a multimegabit/sec site? No. But I'll use it on low-traffic networks without a problem.

I'm interested in the build scripts so that I can patch these OpenBricks.

I bought myself a soekris 4801 and wanted to use OpenSoekris or flashdist to install OpenBSD on its CF card. They both didn't suit my needs because I wanted more flexibility. The article from Gray Watson sounded interesting but looked like too much work, especially too patch/update. So I decided to adapt flashdist to my needs.
To use soekrisdist, you simply have to untar base.tgz and etc.tgz (you can also add your own tgz-archive with extra packages you need) to a directory, eg. "/usr/soekris/files". Then you can remove/add/change files in "/usr/soekris/files" until everything is like you want it. After that you have to build a kernel for your soekris and put it into a directory, eg. "/usr/soekris/kernel/bsd". Then you should be able to run soekrisdist:
As I use a 256MB CF card with my soekris, I didn't design soekrisdist to create an as small as possible embedded OpenBSD. I wanted the CF card OpenBSD to be very similar as the "original". So I changed "/etc/rc" as less as possible: "/etc/hostname.sis0" etc. are still needed, services are started via "/etc/rc.conf" or "/etc/rc.local" etc.
Maybe some reader can use this script. But be cautious, it may work for me not necessarily for you. If don't want to edit files in "/usr/soekris/file/etc/" and don't much bother about flexibility flashdist and OpenSoekris are better solutions for you.
Regards,
thomas

Oops, I forgot to give you the URL to soekrisdist: Here it is.

As far as heat does, I haven't actually measured it, but the case doesn't feel any warmer then when I ran it with a 64M CF.
