IPFire is a source-based Linux firewall distribution that brings additional features with it. The easy-to-set-up system defeats its competitors like IPCop, Smoothwall and Endian-Firewall potty. A stateful-inspection-firewall with a luxuriant content-filtering-engine plus traffic-control (QoS) rounded with latest vpn-technology and a lot of logging is foolproof to administer with just a very few clicks.

So you can get anything out of IPFire you can imagine. Without any add-ons 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...

Linux 3.0 Released.

Fri, 22 Jul 2011 21:59:00 GMT

Linux 3.0 has been released. Technically, the release of version 3.0 of the Linux kernel shouldn't be too eventful, since the jump in version number doesn't actually signify any huge change or whatever; the only reason behind the bump to 3.0 is to come to saner version numbering. Still, man, it's like, totally version 3 of the Linux kernel.

So yeah, the year of Linux on the desktop never came, but in its place came a lot of other, possibly far more impressive stuff. The year of Linux on the server - dominating. The year of Linux on smartphones - Linux is godlike here. The year of Linux on high-performance computing - Linux aced this market. And a whole load of other things, like embedded uses for Torvalds' baby.

Thunderbird returns to nest as Mozilla Messaging rejoins Mozilla.

Mon, 11 Apr 2011 17:06:13 GMT

Mozilla decided to spin off Thunderbird in 2007 to form an independent organization that came to be known as Mozilla Messaging. In an unexpected reversal, Mozilla announced on Monday that it will reabsorb Mozilla Messaging and integrate it into Mozilla Labs, a team within Mozilla that incubates experimental projects.

The move to bring Mozilla Messaging back into Mozilla proper was motivated by a desire to work more closely on communication technologies. Mozilla wants to offer some contact management and social networking capabilities in future versions of Firefox—an agenda that suggests an obvious opportunity for collaboration with Mozilla Messaging.

m0n0wall 1.33 released.

Mon, 11 Apr 2011 16:11:52 GMT

m0n0wall is a project aimed at creating a complete, embedded firewall software package that, when used together with an embedded PC, provides all the important features of commercial firewall boxes (including ease of use) at a fraction of the price (free software).

m0n0wall is based on a bare-bones version of FreeBSD, along with a web server, PHP and a few other utilities. The entire system configuration is stored in one single XML text file to keep things transparent.

m0n0wall is probably the first UNIX system that has its boot-time configuration done with PHP, rather than the usual shell scripts, and that has the entire system configuration stored in XML format.
