Jack Wallen/ZDNET It's a rare occasion when a Linux distribution slips by my sight, but FunOS managed to do just that. This lightweight distribution was created with three things in mind: Stability Performance Security How does it achieve those things?

Savushkin/Getty Images Cord-cutting was supposed to be the smart way to free yourself from exorbitant cable bills.
