I’ve been working on a Distro for many years now about 5 ot 6.
It’s not official, basically you would call it out of the basement kind of project, but
I’ve had tremendous help from many people,
I’ve asked help from the Fedora Community and few people (31 People Actually), are helping me integrate few things from Fedora into this linux distro, I’ve been to Red Hat, and very few people helped (3 Programmers & 2 Security Experts),
and now i’m here asking for people to help and or test out my new distribution of linux, the name of it will be “grote-toren” meaning great tower, (biblical word)…
I am planning on releasing the Stable version August First ( i am taking my time)
Other Details are available
Please E-mail me here admin@gt4jk.com
If you would like to help or test it please email me or PM me
What features does your distro have that others don’t? Will you include Comodo Trustix Firewall? What is the package manager? Also, please tell me you are not compiling i386. That’s one of my biggest beefs with Debian/Redhat and derivatives is that they are compiled i386. I know it’s for max compatibility, but compiling for i686 is much better … so you loose out on the one person using anything lower, but there are features of the new CPUs that you do not use unless you compile for them: Copy-on-write is just one of a thousand examples.
You’ll have to wait til the website is up sorry sir’
I cannot discloser any information but i can tell you,
we both are
we already have a beta in i386 (with the JScan Beta v2.0)
and what we do have that others don’t is called “JScan (Stable v1.7)”
which takes up about 10%(aprox) of the space,
it is,
Mal-Ware Scanner (Anti - trojan/virus/spyware/adware/etc…)
We both determine on prevention and detection (thanks to comodo which inspired us :D)
Network Security Scanner Almost like GFI Languard except no GUI
Vulnerability Scanner (from your ports to out of date system apps )
Disk (Fix or Modify)
Also We Will Include CTF (Comodo Trustix Firewall) As A option to install if not they will be pretty much forced to use the firewall we have created (inspired from CFP 3 w/ TC & modified firewall from fedora)
And You’ll have a option to install the USMC Theme, which i added and created my self
the start up is a 9 seconds preview of USMC Hymn, and when you shut down it will play taps for 10 seconds,
We have added few things from Fedora into our package also, which i cannot say which ones,
I also would be interested in possibly trying/testing this out. Sounds like you put in alot of hard work. so Congrats on it and hopefully we can get alot more to test it out
