- 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.<br />
- 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.<br />
- 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.<br /><br />
