Devil-Linux 1.0
Posted by Devil-Linux in October 31st 2003
Devil-Linux is a special secure Linux distribution which is used for firewalls, routers, gateways, and servers. The goal of Devil-Linux is to have a small, customizable, and secure Linux system. Configuration is saved on a floppy disk or USB stick, and it has several optional packages. Devil-Linux boots from CD, but can be stored on CF cards or USB sticks.
Changes: Kernel security has been enhanced (GRSecurity). Almost all programs are
compiled with the stack smashing protector. The entire OS is on CD,
and only variable data is loaded into the RAMdisk. There is hard disk
support for storage of large data or for permanent storage, USB and
PCMCIA support, spam and virus protection, and many many other things.
