[K12OSN] Minimum specs for firewall/filter

[Jim Hays]

We are replacing all of our SME filters with IPCop machines with 
DansGuardian added.  Have you considered IPCop instead of SME?  I love 
SME for a web server and an email server.  I think IPCop might be a 
better choice for firewall/filter, though. 

We are using 1 Ghz Celerons with 256 MB RAM.  More machine that is 
needed for this, but it is what I have.
