[olug] Anyone using monowall in a commercial setting?

[Jay Swackhamer]

I have been using the Vyatta router distro for a couple of years now,  
no issues that weren't hardware based.

Its been running on a Compaq DL360, booted from a CD(The internal SCSI  
controller is dead, no HD), config stored on a floppy that's ejected  
after boot.
