What is it?
The goal of the ekkoBSD project is to provide a safe, secure, and simple to administer network operating system. This will be accomplished in a democratic manner, with a well-defined hierarchy, and an eye towards new ways of thinking.
The Operating System
ekkoBSD as a core OS offers security, stability, and flexibility to your infrastructure. As a default installation, ekkoBSD gives you an E-Mail server, Web Server, ssh, and several other services that would normally need to be added and secured.
Single Servers
A concept that has been with ekkoBSD since it's beginning are the implementations of "Single Servers". These are much like the single-floppy firewalls, rescue discs, etc. found within PicoBSD. ekkoBSD/TF is a single server example of a transparent nat firewall on a single floppy, hard disk, or CD.
