XORP 1.0 Released

Posted by michael on from the bit-bucket dept.

Mark Handley writes "XORP is the eXtensible Open Router Platform - an open-source router software stack for FreeBSD and Linux. It's designed from scratch to be extensible, so you can write your own router applications that play nicely with the existing routing protocols. We just released XORP 1.0! There's also a Live CD if you want to try it out without reinstalling your machine. More details in this CNET article."

    Considering the release numbering scheme is arbitrary, it's amazing how people underestimate the marketing benefit of calling your first beta release "Release 3.0"

    Consider Windows...
    Release 1.0
    Release 2.0
    Release 3.0
    Release 3.1 (must be slowing down)
    Release 3.11 (really slowing down)
    Release 95 (wow, skipped 91.89 versions!)
    Release 2000 (skipped 1905 versions)
    Release NT and XP (some sort of Advanced Roman Numeral system??)

    How am I supposed to know if it's any good if there are no screenshots?

    Hopefully all Slashdotters already know your statement of the obvious. I believe the initial post was meant in jest.
