+
+Setup
+=====
+
+Basically, you plugin a box, add this software define its first interface, then go to the browser
+
+
+How It Works
+============
+PenGine works on the basis of "areas", as in allowing connectivity from one area to another.
+Every firewall has an interface connected to an area (though, 2 would be better) and then you
+define rules allowing connectivity from area to area
+
+
+TODO
+====
+
+must:
+- vlans are a must
+- area to area rules
+- fw to fw connectivity for central mgt
+- basic routing
+- ipv6 + ipv4
+
+nice:
+- HA would be nice
+- fw to fw connectivity for vpn'ing
