In distribution since 2001, EnGarde Secure Community was one of the very first security platforms developed entirely from open source, and has been engineered from the ground-up to provide users and organizations with complete, secure Web functionality, DNS, database, e-mail security and even e-commerce.
- EnGarde Secure Linux now has support for KVM, the Kernel-based Virtual Machine. KVM utilizes the Intel VT and AMD-V processor extensions to provide a very fast virtualization environment using QEMU. More information on KVM may be found at kvm.qumranet.com.
Eckersid Silapaswang, one of our engineers, has documented how to use this new KVM functionality in the EnGarde Secure Linux Wiki
. He's also provided two images of this 3.0.16 release, one for i686 and one for x86_64, on ftp.engardelinux.orgUsers are encouraged to download these sample images and, using the wiki article, evaluate KVM for themselves!
- Downloading EnGarde Secure Linux just became a whole lot easier!
For convenience, we've removed the need to register before downloading EnGarde Secure Linux. Users can now create a GDSN Account after installing EnGarde, during their initial configuration. This eliminates any confusion and inefficiencies in getting the server up and running.
- Limited support for the new ext4 filesystem. This is not intended for use in a production environment -- it's being provided simply for evaluation purposes.
- Updated PCI tables and hardware detection system, which allows for much better detection of more recent hardware.
- Several new packages such as ImageMagick (6.3.1), alsa-lib (1.0.14a), aspell (0.60.5), aspell-en (6.0), kvm (33), mailman (2.1.9), perl-Apache-Session (1.83), perl-Authen-Captcha (1.023), sysfsutils (2.1.0), and xl2tpd (1.1.11).
