Floppy routers do have limits... I used Coyote for sometime.. kind of
fun. Once up and running, on a 486/33 (if I remember right) with 16megs
of RAM, I took out the HD for quiet operation (486 did not have fan
either). The firewall did not have VPN support and a few other
things... limited, but good for most home settings. Wolverine is made
by the same guy. I have only read some of the details, but seems like a
good distro... the guy is constantly tweaking it under the hood, to make
it more robust.
