NEW • Distribution Release: ERPOSS 3 |
| As reported by KDE.News and other web sites, Germany's Federal Office for Information Security has released its own desktop Linux distribution - ERPOSS3: "Composed entirely of free software the distribution is available as a Live CD as well as an Install CD. While it's based on Debian Stable (Woody) the CD contains KDE 3.2.2, Mozilla and a special themed version of OpenOffice 1.1.1. One of the highlights brought by the Government Desktop is the fact that it saves the whole data on encrypted filesystems. Furthermore, KMail is preconfigured to send and receive encrypted e-mail and to make use of all kinds of authority certificates. The package is completed by integrated spam and virus protection and a preconfigured personal firewall." Both the installation CD and the live CD are now available for download: ERPOSS3_INSTALLATION.ISO (680MB), ERPOSS3_LIVECD.ISO (545MB). For more information visit the ERPOSS3 project page (German only).
