Right now I don't need a specialized router machine, but when I was considering one, I remember being turned away from OPNsense by some thread in a mailing list or a forum -- maybe even this list -- noting that its binary distribution was compiled for a particular amd64 ISA sub/superset, and wouldn't run on others. Sorry I don't remember more details, maybe others will instantly know what I mean? -- Ian
