New Version of IPCOP (Linux distro) just released:

Yesterday:
Linux distro or network traffic cop? It's both!

| The bottom line is that IPCop is a mature, robust, sophisticated, and
| well-polished security distribution. It's also well supported. The
| installation and administration documentation is excellent, and I've found
| the #IPCop IRC channel on freenode.net to be a friendly, helpful place to ask
| questions of other IPCop users.

Why Having 500+ Distros is a Good Thing

| Perhaps next time the author might think about what they're
| saying...because limiting the number of distros out there is
| absolutely NOT the way to go to accomplish anything other
| than limiting innovation.

Too many free operating systems? I don't think so.

| And people say there is too much choice?? It pretty much comes down to
| basically only 3 ways. Choose one and you're already going to be making
| significant compromises.
|
| No. The killer distro hasn't arrived yet. Not for me. Until it does, I will
| be on the look out for more choice, not less.

The distro jungle

| People who are new to Linux are often confused by the large number of
| distributions to choose from. The good news is that you can safely ignore
| most of them. This article helps you choose a distribution for getting
| started with your Linux exploration—and helps you understand just what
| it is you've just chosen.

359 Choices
,----[ Quote ]
| I would also strongly dispute the notion that IT managers would be daunted by
| these many distros. No offense, but any IT manager worth their salt is not
| just going to visit Distrowatch to find their first Linux distribution
| deployment. They're going to research other sources, talk to peers, and very
| likely contact the larger commercially oriented distribution companies. So
| again, tossing out the Big! Scary! 359! Distros! number is really just
| that--a scare tactic.

Tech media doesn’t get open source

| I just want to tell the tech media that
|
| * Open Source is not a business model. It is a platform on which
| different business models can play out. It is a great leveler of
| the business playing field.
|
| * Open Source is fully democratic. Please take time to understand
| how consensus is built in the open source communities, especiall
| in the kernel group.
