Hello,

Trustix Secure Linux 3.0 alpha is here!

Our rapidly expanding new customer base has meant we only had to concentrate on one area of improvement - making installation really, really simple. "Viper" our new installer should meet everyone's needs....customers old and new, and many new features are ideal for our growing enterprise community.

Having built an enviable reputation for stability and security, Trustix proves consistently to be one of the quickest organizations in the world to issue security patches and updates. More importantly the Trustix secure patch management system - SWUP (Software Updater) deploys patches to mission critical applications securely efficiently and effectively. This latest release further strengthens the security message and sets a rock solid baseline for new and existing customers of the free to use - Trustix Secure Linux - distribution.

Complementing our mission to produce the most reliable server OS available, Trustix have also made huge strides towards making Linux easier to configure and administrate. Server automation tools such as CP+ facilitate the quick and easy, web based administration of your dedicated Trustix? OS based server - simplifying the usually complex management of tasks such as Samba file sharing, mySQL databases, firewall configuration, web site hosting including DNS management and email. Trustix remains committed to the open source community with Trustix Secure Linux 3.0 being the next step in the evolution of the world's most secure free commercially supported Linux distribution.
