“… the problems of installing Linux and using the powerful
security and network tools written for the platform have nearly
been eliminated by Trinux.”

“This miniature version of Linux is the Swiss army knife of
network and system security.”

“… the Trinux group’s intent is to “provide the most
comprehensive and up-to-date suite of network security/monitoring
tools available in any Linux distribution.” The group has
accomplished that feat. The popularity of Linux in mainstream
business is growing at an undeniably phenomenal rate as the product
matures. What Trinux does is extend Linux’s power beyond the server
and desktop and into the world of security assessment, where it is
at its best.”
