Rate this project

NewsForge has published a brief review of the freshly released Devil-Linux 1.0: "One of the biggest improvements in the new 1.0 version is a curses-based setup utility that brings GUI-like administration capability to what is otherwise a command line-based, stripped-down distribution. This utility basically does everything necessary to configure Devil-Linux to the level of a "hardware broadband firewall/router," plus a little extra: You can set up two or three network cards; you can configure a standard firewall script with IP-Masquerading/NAT; and you can configure a DHCP server for your internal network."

The Kalamazoo LUG has published a review of the the server-oriented Devil-Linux 1.0, due for release tomorrow: "At work I recently replaced some other Linux servers with Devil-Linux. One of my reasons for this choice is because security is a primary focus in the creation of Devil-Linux. The entire distribution is compiled with the GCC stack smashing protector for buffer overflow protection (except for a very few packages that prevent use of the option). grsecurity is run by default to further enhance security, and many of the server packages are configured to run in a chroot environment by default."
