DebWRT

DebWrt is a discontinued, niche Linux distribution mainly installed on embedded systems. It was built on top of an OpenWrt base which was used to load a fully functional version of Debian from the RootFS stored on the attached USB storage device. For easy installation and deinstallation of packages it relied on the dpkg Package [management system]. DebWrt used the command-line interface of Bash. There was no web-based GUI interface.

Features

DebWrt offered all of the features provided in the stock firmware for residential gateways, such as DHCP services and wireless encryption via WEP, Wi-Fi Protected Access and WPA2. In addition it offered all of the features offered by Debian that are typically not included in a standard firmware.
Features included:

Package manager apt-get
Extensible configuration of your network involving VLAN with exhaustive possibilities to configure the routing itself
Customizable methods to filter, manipulate, delay and rearrange network packets:
Static DHCP leases
* Other devices with available Linux drivers
Regular bug fixes and updates, even for devices no longer supported by their manufacturers

DebWrt had a fully writable file system, which allowed for package management via the dpkg package system, allowing users to install new software to meet their individual needs. This contrasted with Linux-based firmware built using a read-only SquashFS filesystem that offered efficient compression but no way to modify the installed software without rebuilding and flashing a complete firmware image.
