Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] No more new releases

[Dietmar R. <die...@gm...>]

Hi Heiko,

first of all many many Thanks for all your effort and support !

It's really sad to hear that you have to stop to maintain DL, which we run
since more than 15 years now on our fw and vpn.
I hate the idea of having to change our setup, it was one of our most
reliable and easy to run systems over all these years :-(
However, times move on and I fully understand that at some point time gets
an issue.

It seems that we'll have to start looking for an alternative.
Until now I didn't even bother about alternatives, since there was simply
no need for such, never...
Is there something that you or someone on this list can recommend?
I mainly "need" the CD/DVD (system) + USB (config) combination including
shorewall, dhcrelay, openvpn, rsyslog

Thanks again
  Dietmar
