Recently I came across a very useful piece of code called Powerswitch.
It's a small kernel module that intercepts and cancels APM/ACPI suspend
signals and then runs 'shutdown -h now'. This means that if your
e-smith machine has any halfway recent bios you can trigger a clean
shutdown by pressing

Excellent. One thing, though: is anything on an E-smith system likely
to unload that module? I'm
I've been trying out ipsec and the devinfo-freeswan package for 5.6.
Got it working between two e-smith boxes on the local lan but in a short
while I'm going to have to set up vpn links between e-smith boxes in
remote offices and a central Sonicwall router, which will mean rolling
my own custom

I'm intrigued by the ipsec.conf file that the devinfo package creates,
where 4 connections are formed. What's the intention behind this
design? Does it help avoid routing problems?
Ech, forget it. I should rtfm more

Why not look at Gentoo and their portage system?
Because I don't think Gentoo is at all appropriate for an E-smith type

but doesn't offer any advantages at

If there are Mitel proprietary sources involved, are these
