routoo
This project is under semi-permanent hiatus.
routoo's focus is to be a gentoo-based minimalistic router distro similar to
ipcop/smoothwall.
Features include:
- All the typical features of a router distro... Stripped
down,
no-nothing filesystem and kernel. Web interface for
configuration.
- Harnesses the functionality of portage, allowing for a
faster update cycle. No longer are you stuck with an
out-of-date
package, just because it doesn't have a known security vulnerability...
or
an out-of-date kernel without the latest gigabit support. (Not that
ipcop/smoothwall are bad, we just want to be one touch better.)
- Easily moddable to allow for functions such as IPv6, QoS
(packet
filtering),
fully-configurable proxy, fully-configurable DMZ (with DHCP and proxy), thin clients (TFTP), PPP (dialup), PPPoE
(adsl)... and more. (Yes, no more features you don't need, and the ones
you
do!)
- A better looking interface than smoothwall express' orange.
;)
What it won't do:
- Be your file server, print server, mail server... you get the point. ;)
