RAD GNU/Linux uses read-only root filesystem on the RAM disk. Any changeable files reside on tmpfs and are stacked with root fs via unionfs. It makes RAD GNU/Linux usable for diskless machines. The system needs local disk only for store configuration backups while the machine is powered off.
RAD GNU/Linux is an example of the ALT Linux Sisyphus usage for distribution development. It uses several package repositories (see below) and apt(8) utility for system image creation.
external repositories:
- Sisyphus
- ALT Linux repository: Sisyphus is a daily renewed repository of packages. All ALT Linux distributions are created on its basis.
project repositories:
- common
- Largely changed packages from Sisyphus or own project's packages, that can be used not only for RAD GNU/Linux image creation, but to install into ALT Linux Sisyphus environment.
- radlinux
- Specific RAD GNU/Linux packages, that cannot be used outside of the project without spec rewrite and/or product patching
All RAD GNU/Linux repositories can be accessed with ftp or rsync

Welcome to the RAD GNU/Linux home page. The primary objective of this project is to provide easy and sometimes Cisco-like way to setup Linux router. The scratch project's title is «Router Appliance Distribution», RAD GNU/Linux. It is not one-floppy distribution, but it is <20Mb for now. Some of the key features:
- operator-friendly shell
- dhcp-server
- pppoe-server (auth via RADIUS)
- easy traffic shaping
- easy packet filter config
- NetFlow traffic accounting
- PCI NIC autodetection
- VServer — virtual hosting
