About Linux Netwosix:
Linux Netwosix is a powerful and optimized Linux distribution for
servers and Network Security related jobs. It can also be used for
special operations such as penetration testing with its big
collection of security oriented software and sources. It’s a light
distribution created for the requirements of every SysAdmin and
it’s very portable and highly configurable. Our philosophy is to
give greater liberty for configuration to the SysAdmin. Only in
this way can he/she configure a powerful and stable server machine.
Linux Netwosix also has a powerful ports system (Nepote) similar to
the xBSD systems but more flexible and usable.
