linux underneath

RouterOS General

So.. its time for the million dollar question.

we all know RouterOS is running on top of the linux kernel.

I’ve seen many Router Software packages such as Smoothwall, IPCop, Clarkconnect and others and they all run on Linux.

Those above allow you to telnet into the router box and add linux programs.

Can I do this with RouterOS?
