Trying to figure out if you can host a Linux OS on a Cisco Router. Cisco config’s usually doesn’t take up that much space in memory and I’m trying to find out if anyone has tried to place a small version on the Linux Operation System on a Cisco Router. If so, were you successful? How can this be done? Thanks so much

    Why would one do this? The IOS rocks. I don’t think Linux has been compiled to run on Cisco processors.
