Hi, Together with the kha0s and bastille Linux folks I've decided that it would be nice to have a common mailing list for the different secure Linux mailing lists. Since friday night (CET), the list is there: securedistrosat_private You can subscribe like this: $ echo subscribe securedistros | mail majordomoat_private The main things we'll discuss on the list will be things like bug fixes, code fixups and generic security ideas that are usable in all secure Linux distributions. For the uninitiated, here are the 3 secure Linux distributions and their goals: Bastille Linux -- http://www.bastille-linux.org/ Creating a secure Linux distribution for on the desktop, the main use being that network administrators can give out Linux CD's to their users without worrying about security. Bastille Linux will be using Red Hat 6.0 as their basis. Kha0s Linux -- http://www.kha0s.org/ Creating a minimal and secure Linux distribution. Starting from scratch, source-based and with strong encryption and OpenBSD-like policies everywhere. They have a little bit of code available, so this is good for the (impatient) tinkerers. Secure Linux -- http://www.reseau.nl/securelinux/ Creating a secured Linux for (internet) server systems. This distribution will feature something like a package system or at least proper file accounting. Strong cryptography and extra web server functionality will most likely be included as well. regards, Rik -- Open Source: you deserve to be in control of your data. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Le Reseau netwerksystemen BV: http://www.reseau.nl/ | | Linux Memory Management site: http://www.linux.eu.org/Linux-MM/ | | Nederlandse Linux documentatie: http://www.nl.linux.org/ | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
