First off,  I signed up for guitar lessons and am looking at a Randy Rhoads RX10D Jackson guitar,  dude wants 300 bucks Canadian and it comes with a rectangle road case.  Think thats a good price?   (here is the ad: http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-musical-instruments-guitars-Jackson-Randy-Rhoads-RX10D-W0QQAdIdZ516768866 )




There is a residency here in town i help from time to time.

Recently they had a 100 meg optical circuit installed and will be moving from their old ISP to this new one.

I recommended they buy a new server to act as the firewall/router.  They did,  which ended up being a Dell 420 with 32 gigs,  E5-2420 6C @1.9 dual PSU unit.

The ISP has assigned me a boat load of IPs.

I wanted to ask if anyone is running a firewall within a VM and what your experience has been like.  latency issues or otherwise. 

I've done it before but only to protect other VMs which were hanging off a 10 megabit circuit.  This is 100 megabits,  with about 120 students.  

Sounds crazy but its an idea i'm considering...   I'm thinking it would be neat to run ESX then install a pfsence firewall within.   if not i'm just going to do bare metal pfsence install.  


but really,  i just wanted to ask about my guitar....
