ARSIG is a GNU Linux distribution designed especially
for diskless routers, where the main (primary) boot-up
device is compact-flash card. The goal is to make the
"static" part of the operating system lay on
the CF card, mounted as readonly. All other parts of the
OS that need read-write access are mounted in RAM. ARSIG
is based on Openwall GNU/*/Linux (Owl). Initial
Freshmeat announcement, version 1.0_pre01 (PHDS), was
released January 4, 2003.

networks easier and to enable the reuse of older

German and English.

This site is a not-for-profit website. Costs to maintain the server and bandwidth greatly outweigh the revenue from advertising and visitor donations. To put it simple it is very expensive to run a download site with over 800 visitors per day. I, Mahesh Bisesar solely developed this site for your enjoyment and would appreciate any donations from its visitors.
