not to crap on you&#39;re parade, but what does tinhat have to do with gentoo hardened? yes i know you based it off it. but on your own site it say &quot;Tin Hat is a Linux distribution derived from hardened Gentoo&quot; don&#39;t think it&#39;s cool to get spam about this in a gentoo mailing list.<br>
<br>sorry just my thoughts on this deal.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 12:35 PM, basile <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:basile@opensource.dyc.edu">basile@opensource.dyc.edu</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
I&#39;d like to announce to the list that there is a new release of Tin Hat<br>
out. &nbsp;Tin Hat is a fully featured Linux desktop based on Hardened Gentoo<br>
which runs purely in RAM. &nbsp;It aims to be very secure, stable, and fast.<br>
<br>
This release doesn&#39;t include any new features, but rather focuses on<br>
stabilizing the extensive changes implemented in the last release which<br>
completely reworked the build scripts: now a new Tin Hat release is built<br>
from a running system rather than from VMWare templates. The entire<br>
process<br>
of syncing upstream using portage, recompiling the kernel if necessary,<br>
preparing a prestine system and building the ISOs is done purely in RAM.<br>
<br>
The release also addresses several security issues and bugfixes. Over 30<br>
packages are upgraded, including the following important updates:<br>
hardened-sources-2.6.25-r12, bind-tools-9.4.3_p1, openssl-0.9.8j,<br>
e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.3-r1, and portage-2.1.6.4<br>
