Hello,                        

This is to announce the release of Trustix Secure Linux 2.1, nicknamed
"Horizon".  It is the second release in the Trustix 2 series.

Its main purpose is to serve as a stability release, and it is the natural
successor of Trustix 2.0.  In addition, we have added a few more features 
including Samba 3, IBM's stack protector and the XFS filesystem. We have also
updated most of the packages to the latest stable version.

So what does this release feature?
* Swup 2.3
* Samba 3.0.2
* Perl 5.8.3
* PHP 4.3.4
* Mysql 4.0.18
* Postfix 2.0.18
* MIT Kerberos v5
* DKMS
* Postgresql 7.4.1
* OpenSSH 3.8p1
* XFS filesystem support
* IBM's stack protector

and a lot more.

So where can you get it?
You can find it on your favorite mirror.  If you don't know where that is,
please see http://www.trustix.org/mirrors/

Other products
We aim to release Trustix Secure Linux 2.2 in September 2004.  Following
this, we will End of Life Trustix Secure Linux 2.0 six months later in
March 2005.  TSL 2.2 as the last of the Trustix 2 series will, in the same
way TSL 1.5 for the TSL 1 series, have a significantly longer lifetime.

Trustix Secure Linux 2.1 released

The site www.trustix.org can not be reached from Finland, Europe. The site www.trustix.net seems to be available. That site however, seems to be a bit of a mess, nonfuctional links all over the place. That does not make me feel comfortable. Does anybody know if Trustix is any good ? I don't trust anybody to give me a secure Linux distribution, if they even can not get their website right. Maybe the absence of www.trustix.org is only temporary ? Or else someone is being extremely sloppy.

trustix.org works fine from .uk, and the site looks and feels as normal, which is a clean site with working links.

try .no can`t understand why it`s down, it`s down from here too, wich is .no by the way (it`s norwegian) it`s based on redhat install 7.2 ( so install should be easy for you) it has a "apt-get" as debian, you can choose what packages to install etc.

No Python upgrade?

Trustix are still shipping a Python 2.2.x release. This is a shame as the current Python release is 2.3.3 with lots of new features and bug fixes over the version shipped with Trustix.
