+ IPFire is a linux based firewall distribution with a lot of extras.
+ Development base of the new release 2.1 was
+ Linux from Scratch,
+ 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
+ Asterisk PBX,
+ Samba,
+ CUPS and many more...
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.
+
+ 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 you what
+ you want. Check it out...

+ finally finished.

- 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)!
