- <p>IPFire is a linux based firewall distribution with a lot of extras.

- heavily modified. There were added:
- <a href="http://www.asterisk.org">Asterisk PBX</a>,
- <a href="http://www.samba.org">Samba</a>,
- MorningReconnect,

+ IPFire is a linux based firewall distribution with a lot of extras.
+ Development base of the new release 2.1 was
+ <a href="http://www.linuxfromscratch.org" target="_blank">Linux from Scratch</a>,
+ a stable and flexible guide to build a linux distribution. According to
+ this the system was set up and tighten up with nice extras like
+ <a href="http://wiki.ipfire.org/Addons:Asterisk">Asterisk PBX</a>,
+ <a href="http://wiki.ipfire.org/Addons:Samba">Samba</a>,
+ <a href="http://wiki.ipfire.org/Addons:CUPS">CUPS</a> and many more...
</p>
- <p>When the team was refounded to get rid of the old IPCop-code they
- made a totally new concept of the system including the linux kernel
- 2.6 to support the latest generation of hardware.
- We are going to make a really nice server for every home.
+ <p>
+ So you can get anything out of ipfire you can imagine. Without any
+ addons installed it is an ultra-fast firewall but can also be a
+ full-featured home server. It's up to <strong>you</strong> what
+ <strong>you</strong> want. Check it out...
