@AC, ya that was a joke
"Err that was a joke right. Why would making all routers rely on a different OS make any difference surely then you would be equally exposed to a single flaw?"
Next time I'll use teh j0k3 4l3rt butan, kthx.
Seriously, I don't understand why the Linux crowd isn't all over this, promoting Snapgear over Cisco, when they gladly do the same thing when some vulnerability in a Microsoft OS gets published. Cisco is more entrenched in the 'net than Microsoft is.
I would like to see, however, how someone could rootkit a Snapgear box.
