Assunto: [DNG] Devuan 4.0 on Sophos firewall hardware
Just in case anyone is interested, I have had good success at installing
Devuan 4.0 on to second hand Sophos firewall hardware (XG115 and XG125,
Rev 3) to make light-weight firewalls and network appliances.

You have to use a terminal program on the console port at 38400 to get
access to the AMI bios, you can turn off the console port redirection
and revert to the HDMI output (Rev 3 hardware) and then boot from a USB
stick with 'netinst' and flatten the Sophos firmware on the 64Gb eMMC
and install Devuan.

The result is a fast quad core Intel Atom C3508 with four Intel I211
(XG115) or eight Intel 211/X553 gigabit Ethernet ports and an I210 SFP
port (XG125).

IPv4, IPv6, VLANs, OpenVPN, Wireguard, NTP with GPSD and a hardware
reference clock,  DHCP, Bind, Asterisk and more all working and it draws
a fraction of the power of the Dell R210 that I used to use.
