What you need for this book

A working installation of pfSense 2.0 is the only requirement for the recipes in this book. Readers who are new to pfSense can follow the recipes in the appendices for instructions on how to determine what type of hardware they should install pfSense on. The minimum requirements for a pfSense installation are 500Mhz, 128MB RAM, and 1GB hard disk space. PfSense can also be installed as a virtual machine, and for convenience a VMWare image is available from the Downloads section of the pfSense website.
