Editing Linux Router Project (section)

==Unreleased Work==
Dave Cinege worked on a version 4.0 rewrite of LRP from late 2000 into January 2001. He then began testing some ideas he had with proof of concept code, which he claimed was a radical departure from the status quo. To his surprise, this new direction seemed ideal, prompting him to abandon all work done on LRP 4.0 and begin from scratch on a new OS named LRP 5.0.

LRP 5.0 development was headed towards a complete rewrite and reimplementation of Linux userland with a new standard design outside of the POSIX specification. The stated purpose of this was to provide a modern standard base operating system suitable for any application including embedded systems, appliances, servers, and desktop computers.

Cinege however stopped work several months later due to financial reasons. He refused to release any further work, or even the name of this OS, due to animosity towards the computer industry and what he perceived as the plundering of open source authors' work by large corporations.

On May 6, 2003 Cinege updated the LRP website to reflect that the project was being abandoned.<ref>{{cite web |title=Linux Router Project |url=http://www.linuxrouter.org/ |url-status=unfit |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030624030005/http://www.linuxrouter.org/ |archive-date=24 June 2003 |access-date=12 January 2022 |website=www.linuxrouter.org}}</ref>
