OS6 now works on x86 Legacy WARNING: NO NTGR SUPPORT!
Update: It is now unofficially possible using NTGR images to update legacy hardware to os6.X See Post #3, for directions to install 6.2.1 on x86 Ultra and Pro Models. (ARM NOT SUPPORTED by this OS) ...

mdgm and I have decided that its time to lock this thread. So please do post any new OS6 on Legacy issues on their own threads.

I am watching him. Very positive that he is commiting code upstream. I have a Ultra, but native linux support will be a plus for the community.
(and if he packages his development into an image that can be flashed, ARM users will rejoice! I am sure...)
An image that can be flashed would be great. He'd need to get something stable though. For the Intel boxes installing Debian would be much easier.

Argh! Why oh why do you do this Netgear?
There are multiple reasons for this. One would be that they wouldn't want a competitor to be able to easily copy their work.
