think it may have actually been called "router on a floppy" ... there
are a few of those distro's (i think another is "damn small linux" or
something like that) ... used to run my firewall (hard drive-based) on a
66MHz 486 with 96MB RAM running FreeBSD ... worked ok until the cron
jobs would go off at 4am (prime download time for me back then) and my
bandwidth would literally be cut in half! :P
