From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Years ago I derived a flash with vtun on it. It's so old, now, but vtun still goes and connects. And since it's not systemd, it'll keep hammering at the connection until it succeeds.
So these old routers are still out there, and when a soho site is sick and we can't get in we instruct someone to plug in the blue box and it calls out for help.
It's so ghetto but, in places like the southern states where rural power outages can outlast generator time, it has cut down our time to recovery tremendously.
