Linux Netwosix Creator Discusses 2.0 Vision

An anonymous reader writes "LinuxWorld recently took the time to talk to Linux Netwosix creator Vincenzo Ciaglia to answer why there are two releases (1.3 and 2.0-rc1) within a week of each other, among other questions. From the article: "We think that its light structure could make Linux Netwosix suited for all network security work. For a good network plan, the sysadmin needs a light system that is highly configurable. Every sysadmin wants to configure networks, and work with them, with the possibility of doing everything alone."

Re:BSD style portage over apt-get - what advantage

You don't need to make a package for it, just a script to built it. The sources/packages can be downloaded from the original site at build time, and not from a central repository, if seen fit. Of course you can always download from a mirror.

From the article:
Also, if your company wants to contribute to Netwosix development, let us know, because we're seeking business partners for financial support!

Should have left that out, dude - or at least be a little more subtle. You can't be that blatantly honest when asking for cash!
