I'm the Project Manager of LINCE release. We are just awaiting to solve a couple of problems with our CVS area to upload the iso image. LINCE is just a Bering distribution on steroids oriented to a Compact Flash (or Hard Disk) system. Bering is just wonderful but it lacks some features a professional firewall might need. BTW, is based on glibc 2.2 For example we have done already: 1) Easy installation of Bering or LINCE from a CD installer (its provided as an iso image). All Bering packages in a convenient place (the iso). 2) Most popular ethernet adapters by default loaded 3) HTB QoS trough htbinit 4) SQUID 2.4Stable6 configured to run in memory 5) SMTP Proxy for Antivirus (FPROT done), antirelay or antispam (this one not done yet) 6) POP3 transparent proxy for antivirus (FPROT) 7) Web filter content (IP, URL, words, MIME, PICS) 8) IPSec with FreeSWAN We dont know if all this will be released at the first moment, or just in future releases (first we need to try to sell them to other people :))) but they will come, specially if this community helps us getting some of that functionality done. All his is already there (excep IPSec we are working now) and runs without the need for a hard disk. The project idea is "make a professional firewall with open software". All this features are not activated by default (dont activate anything you dont need) but they are installed in the Compact Flash for rapid deployment. Things we are planning to add in the near feature: 1) Bridge functionality. Yes, this is done with Bering but we have never done it, need to learn how to do it. 2) Proxy ARP - the same 3) HTTP load balancer.- We are just awaiting somebody will pay us to do this :) 4) SNORT, inline SNORT, high availability (heartbeat), .... I think its just a great project, so keep in touch !! If you want to see more details of the project in spanish you can go to: http://www.eneotecnologia.com/proyectos_lince.html We plan to live from "improving this platform" (somebody will pay us to add some functionality), giving support, selling preassambled systems (you can see great pictures of the box in http://www.eneotecnologia.com/soho_fotos.html) and so on, well you get the point. Thats all folks ! :) Regards. BTW, we have to update to 1.0stable. Great jobs guys:) We were just using rc3 with bugs solved. -- Jaime Nebrera Herrera [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: To learn the basics of securing your web site with SSL, click here to get a FREE TRIAL of a Thawte Server Certificate: http://www.gothawte.com/rd524.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
