StartCom Enterprise Linux 4.0.0 (Barak) released

StartCom has released StartCom Enterprise Linux 4.0.0 (Barak). "The inclusion of Security-Enhanced Linux of the US National Security Agency makes StartCom LInux now even more secure thanks to the MAC-based environment, application capabilities and privileges are set by predefined policies and enforced by the kernel. This prevents errant applications from compromising system security. Version 4.0.0 codenamed Barak (Lightening in Hebrew), features the new 2.6 kernel infrastructure with better and more drivers supported, multi-core and hyperthreaded CPUs support to mention only a few. The improved storage and file system capabilities uses now Logical Volume Management (LVM) as the default installation option. Also the desktop environment offers new enhancements providing a feature-rich, easy-to-use application pool, such as Firefox, Evolution and OpenOffice."
