Has anyone looked into IPFire on the Banana Pi BPI-R1?

I'm thinking about replacing my big old dual PIII commercial
power sucking box with IPFire on one of these.

Seems like a perfect IPFire appliance. 8-)

Five gigabit ethernets plus Wifi 802/b/g/n

Hey Bill,

this hardware is actually supported at the moment:

http://wiki.ipfire.org/en/hardware/arm/start

Unfortunately it does not really come with five Ethernet ports. This is
just one real one with a switch in front of it.

Best,
-Michael

That means that it is not supported right now and that we do not plan to
support it in the future.

The Raspberry Pi Boards are just garbage. They are slow. Their
peripheral devices are unnecessarily unstable because of a poor board
design. So there is no way this could ever be properly used as a
firewall.
