Hello everyone, The GNAP (Gentoo Network APliance) project is now ready for mass consumption. It's an easy way to build stateless network appliances (firewalls, routers...) for old or embedded configurations without the need for a full installation. A GNAP is a LiveCD, much like Knoppix, geared toward routing services like firewalling, traffic profiling, VPN and network monitoring. Specific configuration files are burnt onto the LiveCD to customize its behaviour, making it easy to restart, and impossible to permanently compromise. Please see GNAP project page : http://embedded.gentoo.org/gnap.xml And GNAP user guide : http://embedded.gentoo.org/gnap-userguide.xml For those following the story, version 1.1 fixes all known bugs, speeds up startup times and adds support for HTTP server (boa) and statistics graphs (rrdtool). And it still fits a 16Mb CF card or DiskOnModule. I lack outside testing so don't hesitate to try it. Building a customized ISO takes just a few seconds if you use the provided GNAP core ! Comments welcome...
