This sounds interesting: http:/www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3740106/Cisco+Turns+Routers+Into+Linux+Application+Servers.htm http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9701/index.html Cisco will be supporting apps on their Integrated Service Routers (ISRs) and some other devices (WAAS) via modules running embedded Linux (i.e., Cisco Hardened Linux). Developers will be able to use a Cisco SDK for development of open/closed source apps. These apps will have the opportunity to be "certified by Cisco." I wonder if this is just a generalized version of their IDS router module which also has a Linux core. http://seclists.org/focus-ids/2004/Apr/0019.html And for the /. crowd, ... "But will it run Quake?" :-P ymmv, C.G. -- powerofprimes@gmail.com Carlos Macedo Gomes _sic itur ad astra_ --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
