-Entware is a software package installer. It allows you to install programs that can't be included into FreshTomato itself, mainly due to most routers' limited flash RAM size.  
  
-**NOTE**: You can find current, in-depth instructions for installing FreshTomato on Entware's wiki. +\\ [[https://entware.net/about.html|Entware]] is a software repository for network attached storage, routers and other embedded devices. [[http://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k3.2/Packages.html|2500+ packages]] are available for different platforms. Entware packages are full versions of programs/commands found in common Linux distributions. You can expand upon the BusyBox versions of commands included with FreshTomato and install packages not already installed. This allows you to "//push the limits//" of your router.
