[Trinux-talk] It's been a while / Reviving Trinux / Ubuntutrinux :)

[Matthew F. <md...@gm...>]

Hi Robert and whoever else was on the thread back in January. I just
discovered this thread you guys had about reviving Trinux :(

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=1169330192.45b290108ae61%40mail.ravensong.com&forum_name=trinux-talk

But better late than never. And it warmed my heart to see that other
folks thought there is still a place for something Trinux-like inspite
of LiveCD/DVDs.

For the small number of subscribers (I wasn't one and I'm not sure
where all the admin list traffic is going to) there is a new page for
ubuntutrinux (for lack of a better name) up at
http://code.google.com/p/ubuntutrinux/

and I actually released an iso on sourceforge yesterday at
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3301&package_id=228434

So work has begun again (I had the need for a lightweight ramdisk
distro at work) and during the last few days Trinux has gone places it
never has before PXE booting and kernel 2.6 and post 1.0 Busybox. It
has run old hardware (these days PIII is old hardware) and high-end
DL380 hardware in my datacenter at work.

Now that wikis are around I think there is a great opportunity to do
things right (in terms of documentation) -- the way that should have
been done the first place. I'd be glad to create accounts for. Either
on the new google code, here at sourceforge, or on my personal
security wiki at threatmind.net.

I put some pages up already on objectives

http://www.threatmind.net/secwiki/UbuntuTrinux/ProjectObjectives

These are open to revision debate, etc. for folks that have opnions :)

I look forward to hearing from whoever is still around.

Peace,
