What is LRP? In brief, it's a minimalist Linux distribution that boots from a single floppy disk. Since the disk can be write-protected using the corner tab lock, there is no chance for anyone to damage your installation over the Internet. On the off-chance the firewall is breached, you can return the machine to its original state by simply cycling the power to reboot.

LRP runs atop a filesystem mounted on a RAM-disk. Because everything is in RAM, it runs very quickly. A 486 should be more than able to keep pace with a T-1 or better.

After setup, LRP machines can be run "headless" -- without a monitor. For the home network, it may be desirable to remove the harddrive. (In any case, it won't be mounted while LRP is running.) After the drive is gone you may safely disconnect the fan for quieter operation

I believe i can do what i believe i can do

A 486 should be more than able to keep pace with a T-1 or better.
hmm 486 is a processor type, T-1 is a connection type.. i don't see the connection between them ;)

peace

I believe he wanted to say it can handle the traffic of a T1
BTW, here in Egypt you should talk about E1 or others ;)

BTW, there are many firewall linux on floppies.

How could you handle T1 connections with low level processors and of course low system requirements you know the rest of Talking.

About T1 and E , i think we implement E connections that cope with the Euoropian standards . I don't know maybe on the contrast i amn't sure but i am talking about Linux Router Project as an operating system for routers only.

It is just a note.
What about the other os on fdisk ???? tell me more???

use FREESCO i like it but it only statci routing as i remember
WWW.FREESCO.ORG i just checkd the site now and i think that dynamic routing is avalible in the new VER 0.3

Dear friends :
I am talking about a whole os dedicated as a router. You know what i am talking about i amn't talking about just a service like routed or gated.....

I am really surprised, when i telneted my LANMODEM, i found a unix system and ftp server....etc i have really been astonished by the cababilities of the linux and unix system.

FREESCO can do what u want there is ever web server like apache and its more easer than LRP try it FTP UNIX what ever
