I haven’t played with Untangle for well over a year now. Not because I don’t think it is a good product but the I now longer need it at home.

Try on the Untangle forums or developer lists.

thank you in advice

No I didn’t in the end. I only really needed Untangle for my kids and since I found out how to run a local proxy and content filter (Dan’s Guardian) on their PCs my urge to install it disappeared.

However, the recent versions of UT can be installed straight on top of Ubuntu or Debian so I think you can simply add a couple of lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list and install it with apt. It would be a far easier route to install on a mainstream distro than a customised LFS

Here’s a link to their wiki explaining how to do it: http://wiki.untangle.com/index.php/Quick_Install_Guide:_Untangle_for_Ubuntu_and_Debian

Did you ever get Untangle working on this rig? I’m thinking of going down the VIA/Untangle route (but with a distro, perhaps Ubuntu, rather than LFS). Is this a good idea?

Thanks

Just wondering if you’re still interested in getting an Untangle kernel compiled for your hardware?

I had a similar need as I wanted to run Untangle paravirtualized in a Xen domU. I downloaded the kernel source from Untangle’s svn server and patched it for Untangle and Xen and it’s now running OK. Shoot me an email if you want some specific instructions.

Thanks for commenting. To be honest, I hadn’t considered Clarkconnect. It is something I haven’t looked at for many years. Secondly, my penchant for grow-your-own in terms of linux OS (a.k.a Linux From Scratch) drives me to want to do it all myself

The first version of Untangle I played with (5.0) did not support the hardware as you will have read from the other posts before this one due to the rather old kernel. However, they are close to releasing a new version (5.1) which is based on a much newer kernel and will happily support the hardware of the Jetway Mobo.

As my system has developed, it is now very stable and runs a whole raft of applications very nicely. When I get some time I’ll do an update as to where I am now and where I want to get to.

Thanks again,

Alan

ive been following your project closely. and i also have bought the same motherboard for a similar project. may i ask why you dont use clarkconnect that provides most services if not all that you require. also what experience have you had with RTL8110SC and untangle is it supported

But to be honest the real reason is the down to the fiasco of OOXML. It would be unfair of me to not attribute those articles accurately

Let me know on the wordpress plugin – I can’t find one that’s suitable or that doesn’t crash badly…

I just noticed your Tag box. Very nice BTW. It seems odd that an open source blog’s second largest
tag in the tag cloud is Microsoft. In some sense, you become defined by what you oppose.

There are companies who bundle and build asterisk appliances, and it’s something we are investigating ourselves. There are some really neat home/SoHo size platforms being built that use minimal power, have no moving parts (all flash and no fans) and have either multiple FXO/FXS or a PRI interface. There is obviously HA hardware available for the bigger corporate too.

This series of articles is about my personal experimentation and passing on some knowledge gained. The end result wouldn’t necessarily be a suitable “appliance” in it’s own right but it might help me to understand what would make a good and useful one

Thanks for the comments.
