The NETWOSIX Linux distribution (v. 1.1) is now available.

What's Netwosix ?
*******************
Linux Netwosix is a powerful and optimized Linux distribution for servers and 
Network Security related 
jobs.  It can also be used for special operations such as penetration testing 
with its big collection 
of security oriented software and sources. It's a light distribution created 
for the requirements of 
every SysAdmin and it's very portable and highly configurable. Our philosophy 
is to give greater 
liberty for  configuration to the SysAdmin. Only in this way can he/she 
configure a powerful and 
stable server machine. Linux Netwosix also has a powerful ports system 
(Nepote) similar to the 
xBSD systems but more flexible and usable.
