TRONDHEIM, August 22, 2001 – Today Trustix
announced the new version of Trustix Secure Linux. The new TSL 1.5
has a wide range of new features, such as automatic updating of
programs and support for xDSL and DHCP.
Trustix Secure Linux is Trustix’ own open source Linux server
distribution with strong emphasis on security, performance and
stability. The new TSL version is based on version 2.2.19 of the
Linux kernel.
“The 1.5 version provides a number of features requested by our
users. One of the most important is the SWUP, a program that
enables automatic and seamless software updating and upgrading over
the Internet IP networks,” says Jo Uthus, Vice President of
Engineering at Trustix.
With an updated version of the Samba server, TSL 1.5 can be a
PDC even to Windows 2000 SP2. For enhanced security, sysklogd now
runs as a normal unprivileged user and xntpd uses capabilities to
run as a normal user with only a few privileges. Some packages have
been updated to ease the task of running TSL 1.5 with a 2.4 series
linux kernel.
“Trustix Secure Linux is a Linux OS with a primary focus on
stability and security, and our new version fulfills the needs for
a highly secure and high performing server. And it seems that the
market likes it, too; the number of TSL downloads from more than
20,000 sites has exceeded 50,000,” says Håvard Wollan, CEO of
Trustix.
Trustix Secure Linux is open source and is downloadable for free
at the Trustix web site, www.trustix.com. A complete package
containing the CD-ROM with the Trustix Secure Linux, source code
and documentation, can be ordered from Trustix’ e-shop at USD 39 or
purchased from Trustix’ global network of distributors and
resellers.
