Hey Community!
After a long time of development and testing, me and my team are pround to announce
that the first beta version of the IPFire firewall is finished.
When version 1.4.9 was based on IPCop, we did a complete rewrite of the
distribution and now everything is based on Linux-from-Scratch (LFS) 6.2.
One of the hardest tasks to do was the integration of the linux kernel 2.6, what
lead to deep changes in the system. The webinterface resembels to the predecessor
but we have done a lot of work beyond the cap. I call it "a little revolution".
But the result is a current and hardened system with gcc-4.0.3 and the stable kernel
tree 2.6.16.
You can read more in our
press release (german)!
