Re: [Devil-linux-develop] No more new releases

[Frank W. <Fra...@cg...>]

Hi Heiko,


thank you for taking us this far!

I have deployed my first DL in 2001-2002 and have now more than 100 in
operation. The other component of my setup is fwbuilder, which has come
to a halt several years ago, so change was foreseeable for me.

What do you fellow DL-users look at for replacement?

I have looked at similar projects on and off over the last year or so,
there seems to be other distros (don't know how they will address the
grsecurity issues) but most seem to focus on ease of use for newcomers,
and not so hot for people that manage lots of sites with many common
config items.


Any suggestions? Even non-free ones?


Thanks a lot

Frank
