2007/11/08 - IPFire 2.1 FINAL

-

+ Community Mail + +

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)! - -

Michael - for the developers on IPFire.org + Today is the day we release the final version of ipfire. + You can get the download of the 2.1 + here. +
+ After the first release of august 2005 the project relaunched + an extremely flexible, stable and fast firewall, which was + finally finished. +

+ One of the highlight of this security accessorie are the extensions + to make a real home server out of it. You are able to install additional + addons to the system with only a few mouse clicks. + There are for example:

+ Here is the full list of addons. +
