Linux Distro For Linksys WRT54G

Posted by timothy on from the why-yes-it-does-run-linux dept.

In just a few seconds, you can give your access point's ramdisk syslog, telnetd, httpd (with cgi-bin support), vi, snort, mount, insmod, rmmod, top, grep, etc." Interesting -- "The script installs strictly to the ram disk of the box. No permanent changes are made. If you mess something up, power-cycle it."

    Better yet, what's the point? Has this guy ever had a gf or got laid? What's the infatuation of runnign linux on everything? Can I get my toaster or ceiling fan to run linux too, then it would be the "toaster to rule the world".
