Hi everyone, |

We have just released Tin Hat 20080830. For those unfamiliar with Tin |
| 4 |
Hat, it is a linux distribution derived from hardened Gentoo which aims |
| 5 |
to provide a very secure, stable and fast Desktop environment that lives |
| 6 |
purely in RAM. |

|
| 8 |
This release includes bugfixes/updates to keep Tin Hat in sync with |
| 9 |
Gentoo, including updating the hardened kernel to the latest stable |
| 10 |
version: 2.6.25-hardened-r4. We've also added support for Bluetooth as |
| 11 |
well as *some* wireless adaptors --- the realtek rtl8187 works well, but |
| 12 |
the belkin rt2500usb, rt73usb, rt2x00usb chips do not. Tin Hat now |
| 13 |
supports RAID, LVM, FUSE and EncFS filesystems. Recall that while Tin |
| 14 |
Hat runs purely in RAM, it does allow mounting of encrypted hard |
| 15 |
drives. This support has now been extended to RAID and/or LVM volumes. |
