    Hello there,

    I'm looking for a stand alone Linux box that would enable me to sniff
    (and maybe block) network traffic of my small network (e.g., ~10
    workstations).

    The requirements are probably something like:
    1. Developer friendly. I would like to install my sniffer on this box.
    It is written in C, so I probably need full gcc support.
    2. Not too much memory. Probably 64-128MB would be enough.
    3. CPU speed not important. I assume that any 200MHz processor should
    be enough.
    4. Most importantly: at least two Ethernet ports.
    5. Should be as cheap as possible.

    I would appreciate any recommendation.

    Regards,

    Shai Rubin
