I wish I could donate you as I'm using it on two of my servers but my company is really small... and you know it's not so easy. Can you give Ying-Hung Chen coordinates? If he want's to continue updating packages etc, I would be willing to help whenever I can. I wouldn't like to see such a great project to die completly. Too bad I had no chance to finish up my mono annvix spec files before this :) It’s really sad to see this.. but I can fully uderstand you.

Very nice to hear that, Ying! Glad it works for more than just a server (although, truth be told, I've been using Annvix as a development system for years... =) Wow, I had no idea you were using Annvix in this way.

I'm downloading as I write this. Sounds like an awesome distro. Can't wait to try it out. I'm running a home server to assist me in learning network security, and PHP, PERL, MYSQL, etc etc... This should take me a long ways in that goal. I’m like a few of these other guys here. I’m downloading as I write this. Sounds like an awesome distro. Can’t wait to try it out.

The md5sums are essentially worthless in and of themselves to the md5sums are gpg signed to ensure integrity. I suppose I could have created a detached gpg signature for the iso itself, but I figure more people use md5 and the paranoid can use gpg to verify the md5sum. =) No, what you’re seeing is the gpg signature.

So I think I've got a good download. I'm looking forward to trying this out, as I'm a long-time TSL (Trustix) user sad at the demise of that fine distro. I am really interested in small footprint Linuxes, esp ones that can be run on older hardware.

We changed from urpmi to apt about a year or so ago... apt is much lighter on the system (even if a little lighter on the features... I miss stuff like urpmq and urpmf, for instance). msec is ok, but we think rsec is better (i.e. msec without permission changes and security levels). I'd love to hear what you think of Annvix once you have a chance to play with it. As you've said, in 4 years of using Mandriva (which is how long Annvix has been around as well), you've never heard of it so our userbase is quite small, which means I don't get as much feedback as I'd like, so any feedback you can provide (good or bad!) would be appreciated.

This is the first time I have heard of Annvix. AppArmor sounds interesting, but I've never had a chance to check it out. I always liked Mandrake / Mandriva for msec and urpmi. Downloading now.

Annvix doesn't have SELinux (I like AppArmor better), but I think you'll find it is quite secure. Please let me know what your thoughts on it are! Hello to portugal again! =)
