I am, have been, using Bering-1.2 to allow me to use the internet with some safety for (obviously) several years. It doesn't seem to be broke, and I've got other things to do besides update it. One of these days, perhaps...
I also agree Bering is more useful than just as a firewall, and "framework" is an apt substitute. I'm not sure I agree with inclusion of the word "network" in the description, it should be more general than just a networking appliance. Bering uClibc can be "just the thing" for very small Linux systems. One of the thing I'm spending time on is building LFS systems. I needed a bootable small system on which to base its reinstallation on new systems. I did some work with Trinux, but in the end used a somewhat stripped-down Bering uClibc. I thought lrp packaging and package management was unnecessary for my needs, so retreated to plain old tarballs, for example. If this redirection proceeds, I'd suggest: 1) that LEAF installation have some useful intermediate points before the "full-up" system, e.g. without lrp packaging, etc., and 2) it would need an easy to setup and use generalized development environment so additional packages for some particular use can be easily recompiled for uClibc. -- Paul Rogers [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xprt.net/~pgrogers/ Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
