    Can't find the code, community based my ass. :-P

    EDIT: Still can't find the code, but I found a github page with no repositories. https://github.com/open-switch

      When did "open source" become "we are too lazy to write out own software"?

        It took me 10 seconds...

        Everything you need can be found somewhere here: https://archive.openswitch.net/

        Git is explained here: http://www.openswitch.net/documents/...one-repository

        Code:
        [COLOR=#333333][FONT=monospace][SIZE=13px]git clone https://git.openswitch.net/openswitch/ops-build[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]
        [COLOR=#333333][FONT=monospace][SIZE=13px]cd ops-build[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]
        [COLOR=#333333][FONT=monospace][SIZE=13px]make configure genericx86-64[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]
        [COLOR=#333333][FONT=monospace][SIZE=13px]make[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]
        Documentation is good, and it's there, so... what are you doing? Googling it?

          Important detail not listed in the article: it's just a Linux distro, not an entire new OS.

            Documentation is very large, and having a github org lead me to believe that the repo would be there.
            Thanks for finding it.

              Linux is a kernel not an Operating System.

                I eventually found some licensing information in the repos. Looks like Apache 2.0. Interestingly, it was a lot easier to find information about how everyone is going to sign CLAs and it's going to be so great! Par for the course I guess. Hopefully this will raise the bar on entry level L3 switches.

                  Do you consider Android a Linux distribution? IMO, any project that uses the Linux kernel can be called a "distro", so, for me, Android and this are Linux distros.

                    If you want to be really accurate, then Linux is a kernel, whereas GNU/Linux is the operating system (kernel + basic userspace).
