Spoke a bit with some people in the Brocade stand at HP Discover in Barcelona. The open source / core http://www.vyatta.org/download will be kept, but could not get any commitment to what will happen to it or if they will update it. The 5400 (VSE, 6.6 …

Trying out Arch Linux on a Lenovo T400! First step after getting the T400 Dual Core Centrino 2.26GHz 4GB RAM: replace the 160GB spinning rust to a 120GB Samsung 840. Very easy to take out the old disk and put the new SSD in the carrier. https://wiki.archlinux …
