**************************************************************************
The NETWOSIX Linux distribution (v. 1.2) 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.

The system has been completely rebuilt, now assures a high security
for your network.
Linux Netwosix 1.2 solves all the critical problems discovered into
releases 1.0 and 1.1

secure.

Further developments
