Searched for Habr, about Voyage neither to hear nor to spirit. And today, the next release of this very interesting distribution based on Debian for embedded systems has just been released.
Version 0.7.5 is based on the 2.6.38 kernel and Debian 6.0.2 Squeeze.
The next planned version 0.8, which will include the 3.0.x kernel, and Voyage will be one of the first distros on this kernel.
Voyage is designed to work on the following platforms: PC Engines ALIX / WRAP, Soekris 45xx / 48xx and Atom, as well as virtual machines.
Voyage is distinguished by low resource requirements. A typical installation requires only 128MB of disk space. In general, the Voyage trick is that it uses unioinfs and mounts the entire system on read-only, so the system on the flash drive is not sawed.
Voyage typically uses a firewall, wireless access point, Asterisk-based IP PBX, music player, or network attached storage. Personally, Voyage works for me on an ALIX board with three ethernet ports and a WiFi card, it is an Internet access point for the office (eth0), and two providers (eth1 & eth2) are connected via PPPoE, one for data and the other for IP telephony. Voyage distributes WiFi, and office IP phones are connected to it (Asterisk is installed). It was all bought here , but the Askozia distribution was demolished and installed Voyage.
The box looks like this:
Next ...
There are three versions of Voyage:
All versions are distributed as tgz or live cd for the i386 architecture. Only the basic version runs on AMD64.
Well, the list of changes in version 0.7.5 is here.
Voyage - Theme! Recommend! Oh yes! I just found out recently that there is a Voyage wiki - wiki.voyage.hk . I highly recommend reading about rw / ro and recover to avoid surprises.
