Thanks Neil and Dean for the suggestions. Woody is a Toy Story reference because there was a reference to that movie when the pictures of the router were shown. (If any of you were thinking anything else, you need to get your mind out of the gutter - and I didn’t realize the innuendos until after I sent the note).

It already put OpenWRT on it. I would not use that router without it.

Hi all, I’m wondering if that old linksys router can be repurposed as a Linux machine and patched, and if anyone has done cool things with that “Woody" hardware.
If you mean the WRT54G, folks have OpenWRT on it and have done some interesting things. But most use it as a router :-). I recall Asterisk being put on it. I use it as a Wireless Access Point and not much more. But I have a lot of other things running Linux (the Pis, the NSLU2, the Pogo Plug and 586 SBC).
Woody hardware?
