ARSIG Linux (Arl) is optimized for use on LAN routers

ARSIG is a Russian diskless router distribution based on Openwall GNU/*/Linux (Owl). ARSIG is adapted to work on a read-only filesystem and boots from a (256 Mb) flash card. All components of the filesystem that need write access are mounted in RAM.

This router can work well through many-many years, as it contains no spinning parts, except for the coolers in the power supply and CPU. Version 1.0_pre01 (PHDS) was released January 4, 2003.

ARSIG Linux (Arl) is optimized for use on LAN routers. The primary goal of this distribution is that it is adapted to work on a read-only filesystem. Arl is booting up from a flash card (256Mb) and all components of filesystem, that needs write access is mounted in RAM.
