Honestly, I wish the likes of OpenWRT had a bigger following around the SME world -- rather than giving tons of money to Cisco and friends, invest it in local workforce and improving OSS tools instead.
- LinuxBender 4y agoI like the idea but AFAIK nobody will invest in making enterprise class open hardware. The only case I can think of there this started to happen was two guys making an open router in their college dorm and that quickly evolved into what is now Juniper. I would love to see some open hardware that could run an open source OS and have some open ASIC's driven by some OSS and have expansion slots for all the different network mediums/types. Maybe someone here knows of such a thing being developed? The challenge I see is the proprietary hardware otherwise most of the big enterprise hardware players are just running Linux or BSD under the hood with highly proprietary drivers and libraries. Some of the people at Cisco use old routers as Linux boxes but they lose much of the routing offloading capabilities.
