Replace Your Cisco Router With Vyatta
Do you know cisco router?, expensive isn’t it?. But you need cisco performance with cheaper price?. Vyatta is an answer. Vyatta is Linux cutomized based on Debian Linux. Vyatta is open source networking distro which combine the features, performance, and reliability of an enterprise router and firewall with the cost savings, flexibility, and security of open source to introduce new levels of economics, choice, and control into the network
The Vyatta open source routing platform is built upon XORP, the eXtensible Open Router Platform, and uses templates to execute commands that are entered into the xorpsh, also know as the Vyatta CLI, much like other routing platforms.
For example, when entering show system memory in the Vyatta CLI (xorpsh), the system actually executes free -ot. The Linux free command displays the system memory information and the -ot switch enables the ‘totals’ and ‘buffer adjusted’ lines. The output is displayed in kilobytes by default. There is so much RAM in computers today, that it makes more sense to display the output in megabytes with the -m switch; free -m.

correction - the latest version of Vyatta (VC4) is actually based on Quagga, not Xorp. Thanks for the post.
