Open source operating system images
We've put together some OS images for the ALIX and the net5501. Choose from m0n0wall, pfSense and Voyage Linux. You can have an operating system pre-installed when you order one of our standalone boxes or a rack mount server (that includes a Compact Flash card), or when you buy any Compact Flash card. Or you can download one and install it yourself. To download an image, please right click on the link and select "Save Link As..." (Firefox/Mozilla) or "Save Target As..." (IE) and save the file to your computer.
Get one installed for youInstallation is free when you buy one of our boxes or a rack mount server (including a Compact Flash card). You can also add one to any CF card purchase for only $10. Just select the OS you want in the product options, and your order will arrive with the image already installed on the CF card, so you can just plug it in and go. Let us install your custom imageIf what you're looking for isn't here, we can also build custom images. Or if you have your own image already built, or your own proprietary software, we're happy to pre-install it for you, so your units arrive ready-to-go out of the box. We've had experience so far with Mikrotik RouterOS, PUBLICip, Ubuntu Linux (microSD version), EMBCop, Askozia PBX, and we're willing to give anything a go! Please contact us to discuss your requirements. Do it yourselfTo write images to a Compact Flash card yourself, use dd (BSD/Linux) or Physdiskwrite (Windows). [Physdiskwrite is available from m0n0.ch] Note: All of the above images were created and tested on a SanDisk Compact Flash card, unless otherwise specified. If you don't have them already, you'll need a CF card and a CF card reader or a CF to IDE adapter. A note on image sizesThe Voyage Linux images have been built on particular size Compact Flash cards. As such, if you wish to reproduce the image accurately, you should use a CF card of the same size as the image. Not doing so will leave you with inaccessible space on your CF card, or worse still, an image that doesn't boot. The image size and the space taken on the CF card are not the same thing. For Voyage, the installation is a little under 128MB, leaving lots of room for additional files. If you request one of these operating systems when you buy a CF card from us, we can install it onto any size CF card as long as the card is at least as big as the image size listed here. If in doubt, please ask. Neither monowall nor the embedded version of pfSense allow you to save files to the CF card. The images will fit onto any CF card bigger than the image size. The rest of the space on the CF card will be inaccessible, so there's no point buying a bigger card than is required to fit the image, unless you intend to configure the card for multiboot operation. We recommend 512MB for pfSense and 256MB for monowall, because that's the smallest we stock, but for monowall 32MB will work just as well.
