Hi All, |

I just completed an IBM tutorial on Linux 2.4 stateful firewall design. |
| 4 |
Phew! If anyone needs some tips in this area, email me and I can point |
| 5 |
you in the right direction. |

Now, back to Gentoo Linux for a tiny bit. I've been thinking about 1.0_rc4. |
| 8 |
What I'd like to do is focus on two things. The first thing is the install |
| 9 |
process, and testing out Achim's new devfs bootdisk. The second thing is to |
| 10 |
test all aspects of sys-apps, sys-libs, sys-devel, and a few important |
| 11 |
applications, like openssh, etc. If we can forget about things like KDE for a |
| 12 |
bit, I'd like to focus on making sure that all the fine details of the base |
| 13 |
distribution are in order and working perfectly (things like initscripts, |
| 14 |
devfs, portage, supervise scripts, fixing all installation "quirks", etc.). I |
| 15 |
think that this is needed; let me know what you think. I want to do a lot |
| 16 |
of test Gentoo Linux setups from scratch to try to eliminate any quirks. |
| 17 |
Tell me what you think and Achim, please suggest a reasonable timeframe. |
| 18 |
Also, let me know of any goals that you'd like to define for 1.0_rc4. |
