These are some general principles that (I hope) are driving what I'm doing with this--and may encourage other like-minded individuals to get involved. I also included the stuff I want to see before 1.0 makes it out. :) 1. Provide the most comprehensive and up-to-date suite of network security/monitoring tools available in any Linux distribution. 2. Start with a minimum set of necessary features (the boot floppy) and build custom Linux security solutions using Trinux packages: - network monitoring and intrusion detection - firewalls and virtual private networks (VPNs) - network mapping and penetration analysis - secure web serving 3. Allow a maximum amount of configuration and customization from non-Linux (i.e. Windows 95/98/NT) operating sytems. 4. Support multiple installation architectures without compromising core features: - Floppy disks - Trinux Classic - DOS/Windows partition - TrinuxHD - Ext2 Filesytem - small (<25mb) partition - Package support for mainstream Linux distributions (Debian, SuSE, RedHat,Caldera, Slackare 1.0 Features ------------ - Trinux packages (tarball, debs, RPMs, etc.) for all major distributions - Easy PPP Support for Win32 users - CD-ROM distribution - data disk for each of four solutions above: netmap, ids, firewall, webserver - Win32 Install Program (arggh) - Strong encryption & authentication (distributed from a non-US/CAN site, of course) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ www.trinux.org hosted by The Vnode Connector Services www.vnode.com *** Special Discounts For Trinux Users *** Email kevino@irenyx.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
