Annvix Development Blog

The February 2008 issue of Linux+ Magazine has a feature article on installing Annvix. The magazine isn’t listed on their site yet, but I got my copy of it in the mail today (probably a pre-release copy since I wrote the article). I suspect it should be coming out and being generally available soon, but this is a bit of a milestone for Annvix as this is the first time (that I’m aware of) that Annvix has been noted in print, as opposed to on the web.

I believe you can pick up Linux+ Magazine at Barnes & Nobles in the USA, and probably a few other outfits. Doesn’t seem to be carried at Chapters here in Canada, however. The magazine is out of Poland.

The following testimonial was sent on the users@ mailing list on Feb 14th by David:

Well, I’ve had fun getting Annvix set up. Using a PIII-750MHz, and base install was barely over 300 MB. After installing apache + php, and my folding program, I am now using annvix as experimental web server at admiral.ath.cx and also for folding client - see http://fortressdataprotection.com/folding

I formerly used Trustix Secure Linux, but development was stopped this year, so I was looking for a seceure server distro that would run on older hardware. Annvix is it! Thanks for a great distro! And for great support. I love it, and plan to experiment with its capabilities for use as web server and for running other select apps. THANKS FOR ANNVIX.

Thanks for the kind words, David!
