I am looking for an up to date Linux router that runs from floppy. Google search turns up plenty of choices but they are old. I need something that is less than a year old to run on new hardware.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Bozo :mrgrn:
 
Er... new hardware?
For a Floppy Linux distro?
Like what? NIC? 'Cause it's not like you'd be using anything else.

/Merc's head asplodes.
 
OK, now that I've finished picking piece of my brain off the wall behind me, I'm thinking you would do well with Coyote Linux. It's got a 2.4 kernel, which ought to be good enough for anything a router might be doing.
 
Agreed, I've used Coyote with good success... but it was on a 486....


However, i've upgraded to smoothwall and probably wouldn't go back. I'm hoping that USB pen drives will be the next "floppy" firewall. (Then you'd basically have a Linksys WRT-54G with more flexibility)
