eLSD Announce

The eLSD linux os is available at http://www.thinman.com/eLSD/
http://www.thinman.com/eLSD/readme

============
What it is
============

It is entirely derived from Devil-Linux, a highly secure CD boot only OS.

Available eLSD versions are numbers 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3.  

The first is a faithful Devil-Linux offered as a build and burn kit.  

The second begins to make changes towards the eLSD goals by creating a bigger
divide between the initrd/linuxrc boot and the init/boot in the OS.  It also
boots w/o the floppy that includes the /etc filesystem.

The third actually converts Devil-Linux into an optional hard drive boot OS. 
The boot process occurs entirely in the initrd phase and then accesses the
harddrive.  This kit offers a robust kernel, two custom initrds -- one that
boots to busybox/tinylogin -- and grub and parted support.

The entire build kit will be released soon with each component as a distinct
script built into a customized login.


==================
 The Linux Society
==================

The linux society is based in NYC and offers courses both at the beginners
level (for LPI certification) and at the developmental level -- the enhanced
Linux Society Distro.   We also offer support in a variety of other  topics
especially perl and mac osx.
