Welcome to this year's first edition of DistroWatch Weekly. If pages seem to load slower than usual, that's because the Knoppix review published here yesterday proved extremely popular with the Slashdot crowd for much of today. Things should be slowly coming back to normal now, so let's get on with the programme.
Hardened Linux From Scratch
The 4th quarter of 2003 brought us a surprisingly high number of successful attacks on servers hosting high-profile Linux projects. Some of the compromised machines included servers running the Debian project, GNU, MPlayer, Savannah and others, and there was even an attempt to sneak a Trojan Horse into the Linux kernel development tree. While none of these attacks caused any serious damage to the affected projects, they have succeeded in making parts of the projects' web sites inaccessible for a prolonged period of time, causing annoyance to many of us. They have also highlighted the need to take security issues more seriously than ever.
One of the new projects aiming to educate Linux users about various methods of preventing common exploits is the newly launched Hardened Linux From Scratch (HLFS) project. This is part of the growing family of Linux From Scratch (LFS) projects, which includes the original LFS, as well as Automated Linux From Scratch (ALFS), Beyond Linux From Scratch (BLFS) and other subprojects. What is HLFS all about? Let the developers explain:
"Over the past few weeks, a discussion about a security-oriented LFS book has dominated the lfs-security list. Some clear ideas about the form and content of this initiative are crystalizing, and it was decided to give the initiators of this project a decent platform to work on. So far, a mailinglist (hlfs-dev) has been created for Hardened Linux From Scratch, as it was dubbed. HLFS will become a book that provides the reader with a fundamental understanding of security that can be used as a base for further research. Part of the process in teaching this will be to build a hardened system step-by-step."
The security of Linux servers is something that, quite frankly, most of us would rather not deal with: an unexciting world of buffer overflows, hardened kernel patches and mandatory access control policies. Yet, that's the price to pay for the convenience of the World Wide Web of interconnected computers. And if the other LFS projects are anything to go by, Hardened Linux From Scratch will not only provide great educational value for absolutely free, it will do so in a hands-on and fun way for the benefit of all of us. Interested? Then join the mailing list and start learning.
JAMD and Xdefine Linux
Some of you might recall the good words we have put in for the JAMD Linux project, based on positive reviews and user feedback on the distribution's forums. Unfortunately, the project's future has become somewhat uncertain, due to the continued absence of the project's developer Jim Lucha from the forums, as well as a lack of any development roadmap. Upon some investigation, it turned out that Jim's name had resurfaced somewhere else, on a web site belonging to a new commercial Linux company called Xdefine. This is from the Xdefine's about pages:
"James Lucha, Chief Technical Officer, Xdefine, Inc. Graduated from University of California, Mr. Lucha who has extensive knowledge of Linux operating system joined Xdefine to take over the whole development of Xdefine Linux 2003. His feeling was that the customer has to always get 100% satisfaction and know they got a fair deal. Mr. Lucha met Mr. Sultani online, after talking for a while, he decided to join Xdefine as Chief Technical Officer."
The above note has since been removed from Xdefine's web site, but you can find a discussion about it on the JAMD Linux forums.
This brings up a question: do Free Software developers have some kind of responsibility towards the users of their products? Should they inform us about the project's status and any major changes to it? After all, many of them make no money from it and we are not paying customers, so why bother? On the other hand, there are human considerations - honesty and openness, especially in what we often perceive as our more honest and open world of Linux development, free of commercial considerations. Or is it all a lie? If a successful developer of Free Software is suddenly offered a regular paycheck to continue his or her work for a commercial company, can we really complain that we, the non-paying users, are suddenly abandoned?
If you are using one of the smaller distributions, how do you feel about it? Do you have a backup plan in case the developer gives up? Do you feel comfortable using one of the "one-man" distributions? Please discuss below.
Most visited pages in 2003
With the year 2003 behind us, let's take a quick look at the ranking of 20 most visited distribution-specific pages on this site and compare it to year 2002. The figures represent HPD or "Hits Per Day". Mandrake and Red Hat have retained their top two spots for the second year in a row, while some might be surprised by a rapid climb of Knoppix to the third position. You can view the 100 most visited pages of 2003 on the right column of the main index page.

| Released Last Week |
LRs GNU/Linux Creme-13
A new version, Creme-13, of the recently revived LRs GNU/Linux distribution is out: "Merry Christmas and happy LRs with our brand new release Creme-13. Includes LFS-5.0, Linux-2.4.23, KDE-3.1.4 and much more. Some people don't need a full-blown LRs, so we will release three more ISO images in the next few days: LRs_with_X_and X-stuff (without KDE); LRs_Only_Console_tools; LRs_Pure_LFS." Visit the distribution's web site to learn more.
CollegeLinux 2.5
The long awaited CollegeLinux 2.5 has been released: "We are glad to announce the long awaited release of CollegeLinux 2.5 'Obi Wan'. Once again we did a release taking the necessary 6 months to bring something new, exclusive and never seen within the Linux community. Whilst there is a growing trend to release as often as possible, we have chosen to implement some important and innovative features and release only when there is something worth your time and bandwidth." Among the more interesting new features are a server robot which automatically installs and configures Apache, PHP, MySQL, SQLite, Webmin and PHPMyAdmin, and a slapt-get based auto-update engine integrated into Konqueror. See the full announcement for details. CollegeLinux is a Slackware-compatible Linux distribution designed for desktop and development workstations with many user-friendly enhancements.
Gibraltar Firewall 1.1
A new version of the Debian-based Gibraltar Firewall has been released. From the changelog: "Version 1.1, published 2003-12-23. This is the Christmas release, with only a few new features, but being a lot more resistant against buffer overflows and thus more secure due to the use of the PAX kernel patch. Updated the kernel to 2.4.23, which fixed the recently discovered brk() vulnerability. In addition to the update, the context patch (for virtual servers), the PAX patch and support for the zorp transparent proxy suite were added. Minor additions are an AES optimization and cryptoloop." Read the rest of the changelog for full details.
Openwall GNU/*/Linux 1.1
Openwall GNU/*/Linux 1.1 has been released: "After another year of development and many public Owl-current snapshots, Openwall GNU/*/Linux (Owl) release 1.1 is finally out. Owl 1.1 is currently available for purchase on a CD and will also be available for download after January 7, 2004. The major changes made since 1.0 are documented." Read the announcement on the distribution's web site and the complete changelog for further details. The product can be ordered from the distribution's online store for US$9.35. Openwall GNU/*/Linux is a security-enhanced operating system with Linux and GNU software as its core, intended as a server platform.
Ankur Bangla 1.0
FootNotes reports that Ankur Bangla 1.0 has been officially released: "The Ankur Bangla Project is proud to release version 1.0 final of the Ankur Bangla Live CD, running GNOME 2.4 localized into the Bangla (Bengali). The Live CD is based on Morphix and runs off the CD drive itself with little invasiveness to the existing setup. It is designed to be primarily a tool for collecting end user feedback on usability (especially of the translations of the GUI messages)." Read the rest of the announcement and release notes.
Aurox Live 1.2.0
This is a new release of Aurox Live CD, based on Aurox Linux 9.2. Changes: "This edition has NVIDIA binary drivers 44.96 and Macromedia Flash plugin installed. Aurox Live 1.2.0 contains: KDE 3.1.4 (default graphical desktop); web browsers Mozilla 1.5 and KDE's Konqueror; Office suites (KOffice 1.2.1, OpenOffice.org 1.1.0); multimedia support: sound and movie players Kaboodle, Xine (libs 1.0.0 RC2), non-accelerated games (KDE games); examples of games using hardware acceleration (Chromium, GLaxium); graphical e-mail clients (KMail, Evolution 1.4.5)..." Read the rest of the release notes.

| Upcoming Releases and Announcements |
Knoppix
Klaus Knopper has published information about the upcoming releases of the Knoppix live CD, with an updated version 3.3 expected this week and a brand new version 3.4 with kernel 2.6 before the end of March: "Preliminary release plan: update to Kernel 2.4.23 for the download edition of Knoppix 3.3, should be finished next week. ... Parallel working on version 3.4 with some major changes: switching to ISOLinux plus a 2 floppy boot option in order to allow inclusion of more drivers in the kernel and initrd (USB and Firewire, possibly), since the space on the 1.44 MB floppy is used up by the kernel 2.6 alone." Read the rest of the plan on the developers' mailing list.

Removed from the waiting list
- Zynot Linux. Zynot was a high-profile Gentoo fork when it started over 6 months ago, but now it seems to concentrate on development of embedded Linux solutions, rather than a general purpose distribution. As such, Zynot has been listed under Embedded Linux Distributions on the links page. Please let me know if my conclusion is incorrect.
- Momonga Linux. This is one of those never ending development projects, sprouted from the ashes of the discontinued Kondara MNU/Linux in July 2002. But despite its having been around for over 16 months and a promised final release by October 2002, we have yet to see any release.
DistroWatch database summary
- Number of distributions in the database: 230
- Number of discontinued distributions: 26

On Turbolinux's TurboUpdate
"Turbolinux update utility seems to try to go to ftp.turbolinux.com. It has been down since I purchased the desktop 10D two weeks ago. Just thought I'd let someone know."
I have Turbolinux 10D installed and have had no problems using the TurboUpdate program to download and install all updates since the product release. Is there anybody else having the same problem as the reader above?
That's all for this week, see you next Monday :-)
