Devil-Linux 0.5b5. CDROM based, with "/etc" on a (write-protected) floppy. Works great with both Bezeq's ADSL and Frame-Relay (I plan to combine both lines in the same Linux router, as well as 2 internal lines, total: 4 NIC's...). A very nice distro, though still not my ideal one. My ideal router distro will have a local X server, so newbies can use Firewall Builder to configure it, even if they don't have another Linux at their SOHO. Or at least a good web-based tool, so a remote browser can be used to configure it (securely, of course). (Smoothwall is 2.2 based, so iptables is not supported). Also, my ideal router distro will not load anything to ramdisk, in order to improve security, especially when reboots are not daily... Performance is not an issue, since there is FS buffering in any case. And /tmp or /var can always reside on ramdisks, or even HD (because you may want to look at the logs in case something bad happens). > > standard PPTP of the distro, which doesn't support the patch, even not > > through "quirks". > > that's because there hasn't been a pptp release since the quirks patch > was commited.
