Hello everyone, |
6 |
|
7 |
I'd like to announce to the list that there is a new release of Tin Hat |
8 |
out. Tin Hat is a fully featured Linux desktop based on Hardened Gentoo |
9 |
which runs purely in RAM. It aims to be very secure, stable, and fast. |
10 |
|
11 |
This release doesn't include any new features, but rather focuses on |
12 |
stabilizing the extensive changes implemented in the last release which |
13 |
completely reworked the build scripts: now a new Tin Hat release is built |
14 |
from a running system rather than from VMWare templates. The entire |
15 |
process |
16 |
of syncing upstream using portage, recompiling the kernel if necessary, |
17 |
preparing a prestine system and building the ISOs is done purely in RAM. |
18 |
|
19 |
The release also addresses several security issues and bugfixes. Over 30 |
20 |
packages are upgraded, including the following important updates: |
21 |
hardened-sources-2.6.25-r12, bind-tools-9.4.3_p1, openssl-0.9.8j, |
22 |
e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.3-r1, and portage-2.1.6.4 |
