Lintrack 2.0 released.

I don't know if this is a best place to post this info, so please moderators move it if you find better.

I'd like to proudly present new Linux distrubution - Lintrack. Our team have just made first public release available for download.

I'd like to thanks Arch developers and it's users. Why? Because Lintrack have some things that connects it with ArchLinux:

Look at it's sources:
http://dev.lintrack.org/browser/trunk/packages

Can you see those PKGBUILDs? Yes - the name is not misleading. When almost two years ago we were looking for build system and package maintenance system for our new project - as an Arch user - I proposed PKGBUILDs functionality. We stripped it somewhere and added things that we needed, but it still should look familiar.

Great kudos for Arch community. You may look at http://www.lintrack.org to read more about Lintrack.

Re: Lintrack 2.0 released.

Looks quite nifty! I'll install this on my firewall box. Currently running Slackware 10.2, but it's been positively envious of my Arch install on my main box and laptop! :mrgreen:

What I mainly need here is stability, maintainability, and fun. What? FUN you say? Yup. Where's the fun in boring 'ol home networking without some pizzaz like QoS?

I'll check it out!

Re: Lintrack 2.0 released.

I hope you like it. But don't expect anything similar to Arch.

And about fun - when you'll be familiar with fcc tool you can change newly installed Lintrack into router-firewall with QoS, traffic shaping, transparent proxy, layer7 filtering in about five minutes. Great and intensive fun, but not too long. Lintrack team is not responsible for any addictions.
