New High-Performance Linux Distro for Security and Monitoring
nPulse Networks has announced
it will release a new Linux distribution in August. Catapulta borrows from Debian and
Ubuntu and is designed for network monitoring and security applications.
From this summary page:
"
A key to the project was the substantial tuning required to common Linux distributions to achieve high packet throughput. nPulse eventually built its own custom distribution, named "Catapulta" which it is now placing in the public domain for general usage, and in the expectation of drawing on-going contributions from a user community to continue to enhance the distro."
