| Manuel Kasper developed the embedded firewall software package m0n0wall back
| in 2002, he says, while experimenting with embedded x86-based
| computers. "Having just succeeded at stripping down FreeBSD enough to make it
| run on a Soekris net4501 board… and deploying it for use as a home
| firewall/NAT router, I wanted to go one step further," he says. "I wanted a
| nice, web-based interface to configure it, just like the commercial firewall
| boxes."

| "We developed our own GUI [which is] similar to Trixbox [distribution],
