Back in 1995, I put my first dedicated server on the Internet. It was running SunOS, and it hosted some simple web pages and CGIs for me and my friends. Today, I have several machines, running Linux and BSD in different colocation facilities, with hundreds of users, millions of visitors, online commerce and globally syndicated content. For the most part, this has been an easy evolution, but only due to the awesomeness of UNIX.
Over the years, through work and play, I've run nearly every variant. With Pyramid, I've even had a chance to put my own flavor into the world.
This is my company. We started in 2004. We sell unix based wifi equipment, mostly to people building mesh networks, community networks, wireless internet service providers, researchers and government types. We have a nice little office on Capitol Hill, and we host the Seattle Wireless HackNights. If you’re looking for quality wireless stuff, it’s the place to go.
This is the Linux distribution that we’ve developed at Metrix. It is primarily for Soekris boards, but can run on pretty much any x86 embedded system. It’s a stripped down version of Ubuntu with a custom web interface, wireless tools and mesh networking built in. Unlike a busybox distro, it has a full shell, a real libc, and other luxuries that make your router feel like a machine rather than a device.
