- INTRODUCTION
- [Introduction]
- FREESCO is a *single floppy distribution* of Linux, intended to be a replacement for minor Cisco routers.
- It's name is derived from FREE ciSCO, and *is not* associated in any way with the SCO Unix operating system.
- By design, FREESCO can be installed on a floppy disk or hard disk ... and is compatible with 386 (and newer) generation pc's.
- While there exists other complex LRP's (Linux Router Projects), FREESCO evolved from the need for a less complex solution ... a solution which provides easy setup, strong functionality, all in less than 10 minutes of your time.
- FREESCO is very easy to setup, and flexible in functionality. From a simple base router system to a more complex setup, which includes multi-service combinations (such as serving virtual web sites), FREESCO provides numerous solutions for multiple environments.
- FREESCO *is* proof that even some great packages are $ FREE $
