My company recently de-installed and discarded dozens of these little Nortel Contivity 1010 VPN devices. I pulled one apart and discovered it's basically a tiny Intel Celeron PC with no keyboard/mouse interface, one serial console port, and two 10/100 Ethernet ports. I decided it would be fun to get Linux to run on one so I could play with it... maybe use it as a small firewall, router, or OpenVPN endpoint.I built a stripped-down install of Slackware-12.0 with Linux kernel 2.6.21.5. The install includes (amongst other things):
- OpenSSL
- OpenSSH
- OpenVPN
- iptables
- dnsmask
- dhcpcd
For more information, and the distribution, see my project page at:

Is it possible to send "Slackware 13.0 on a Nortel Contivity 1010.tar" file to my e-mail siim@adamson.cc
ReplyDeleteHuh. The link is broken. Oops.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though. This is *really old*. I'd recommend just buying a Raspberry Pi. ;)
