[FreeBSD-Announce] BSD Router Project (bsdrp)

Olivier Cochard-Labb=E9, founder of=A0FreeNAS, has=A0released the first
alpha (0.1) image of his new project:=A0BSD=A0Router Project -
http://bsdrp.net

bsdrp is an open source, customised distribution of=A0FreeBSD dedicated
to offering IP routing services for small ISP's.

The release 0.1 of BSDRP is a fully working prototype, to be used on
real or virtual machines that boot from ATA device only (not usb).

This first release includes:

- Base FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT system (NanoBSD) for i386
- Customized script (config, upgrade, help, command completion, etc=85)
- Quagga ready to use (OSPFv2, OSPFv3, RIP, RIPng and BGP)

You may ask, what is the difference between BSDRP and=A0m0n0wall=A0of=A0pfS=
ense.

The main goal of BSDRP is not firewalling but routing. If you need=A0a
firewall don't use BSDRP: Use m0n0wall or pfSense.
BSDRP is not for a home use, but for compagny use (small ISP's for example)=
..
BSDRP doesn't have a Web GUI: It's to be configured from a CLI only
(like Cisco or Juniper)
pfSense can be used for routing, but Olivier wanted to set up=A0a Cisco
or Juniper like project just for routing.
