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.

I'd like to replace my router as it's only acting as a PPPoE modem for my pfSense box - this looks a bit of overkill, but interested if there's other (open) options?

Er... thanks?
In other articles, I'm reading that Banana Pi quality control isn't that great, so I'm currently feeling that this might not be boards I am looking for
I have no complaints about their QC but well, samples are samples.
