Vincent Danen has announced the release of Annvix 3.0, a Mandriva-based, secure Linux distribution designed for servers: "Annvix 3.0-RELEASE (Freya) is now available! Today marks the fifth public release of the Annvix Linux distribution; this version is the fruit of almost a year's worth of hard work. We believe that 3.0-RELEASE is the best version of Annvix available. It is recommended that everyone using 2.0-RELEASE upgrade, as it is no longer supported. Some of the new features include: 2.6.22.15 kernel with AppArmor support (RSBAC is no longer supported); updated services, including PHP 5.2.5, MySQL 5.0.51, PostgreSQL 8.2.5, Apache 2.2.6, and Samba 3.0.28; many other upgraded system packages, including glibc 2.6.1."

Distribution Release: Annvix 1.1 |
 |
Annvix (formerly OpenSLS) is a secure Linux server operating system based on Mandriva Linux. The project's second stable release, version 1.1, is out: "Annvix 1.1-RELEASE is now available. 'Netinstall' ISO images are available for x86 and x86_64 on the mirror sites. Using the netinstall method, when you perform your install, your system will be 100% up to date. This is a personal project that I am embarking on as I have a strong interest in a secure Linux-based OS that is easy to use and maintain ('urpmi' has spoiled me). Unfortunately, this type of product is not on Mandriva's radar at the moment so I'm essentially scratching my own itch." See the release announcement and visit the distribution's home page for more information. Download: annvix-netinstall-i586-1.1-RELEASE.iso.tar.bz2 (172MB) or annvix-netinstall-x86_64-1.1-RELEASE.iso.tar.bz2 (178MB).

Development Release: OpenSLS 1.0-CURRENT Alpha1 |
 |
The OpenSLS project aims to create a hardened and secured server Linux distribution based on Mandrakelinux. A new alpha release is now available: "I'm pleased to announce the immediate availability of OpenSLS 1.0-CURRENT alpha1. This is a full ISO image of the entire OpenSLS distribution with a (currently still alpha and x86-only) installer. OpenSLS (or Open Secure Linux Server) is a personal project that began on November 30th, 2003 and has been a less-than-part-time endeavour to make a Linux operating system based on Mandrakelinux secure. With the ultimate goal of making an easy-to-use Linux distribution with ideals similar to those found in OpenBSD and Openwall, this is the first big step in OpenSLS to reach that end." Read the full release announcement and project goals for further details. Download: OpenSLS-1.0-CURRENT-alpha1.iso (588MB).
