-**THIS IS THE FINAL DRAFT. LAST CHANCE TO MAKE IT BETTER.**\\ +The LEDE Project (“Linux Embedded Development Environment”) is a Linux operating system emerged from the [[https://openwrt.org|OpenWrt]] project. It is a complete replacement for the vendor-supplied firmware of a wide range of wireless routers and non-network devices. See the [[https://lede-project.org/toh/start|Table of Hardware]] for supported devices. For more information about LEDE Project organization, see the [[https://lede-project.org/about|About LEDE pages.]]
