The installation is simple and with the new release, Linux Netwosix
2.0-rc1, there's a new setup tool based on the Crux tool that really
helps every user, because it is simple and user-friendly for a
security/network oriented GNU/Linux distribution. The Setup script will
show a simple list of available “base” packages, from which you can choose to
install on your system. It's possible to look at some screenshots of
new installation tool here: http://www.netwosix.org/screenshots.html
Linux
Netwosix is a “Linux From Scratch” distribution. To start installing it, you have to mount and format your hard-disk partitions.
After that you can lunch “setup” and install the “base” system.
So, the
latest step is to configure the kernel in “/usr/src/linux-2.6.14.5/”
and your configuration files like “/etc/fstab”, “/etc/lilo.conf”,
“/etc/rc.conf” and many others.
Finally, you have only to restart the system and hope that everything goes well.
Of course, everything is OK! I was particularly satisfied to see how
the system can be installed in less than 5 minutes, because I had never seen before that a Linux distribution could be installed in this amount of time.
IE or FF are looking for a machine named HTTP through DNS and Netbios, but firefox makes a request to www.google.com (?) wich seems to reply to go on Microsoft's site.
This has got to be a hoax. I don't buy it. This article is just too stupid. He talks about his own distro like he's never installed it before. ("I downloaded the ISO from official mirrors..." etc.)
The article also contains no information of value, just a bunch of conjecture. "It is good", "I like it", "I am happy", blah blah blah.
Btw, you are all getting Microsoft's website because he forgot the colon (":") in his link. Firefox is trying to lookup the host "http" which fails so it does a search, and for some reason it finds Microsoft.com and redirects you there.

Just read the Netwosix article - very good, however, when I click on the link for the screenshots I'm immediately redirected to www.microsoft.com! Firefox 1.5 on Debian Sarge.
Thought you'd like to know...

Look at your link:
http//www.netwosix.org/screenshots.html
it is supposed to link your browser to the Netwosix site.

I think you will bring some correction as soon as possible. Thanks for this.

Vincenzo Ciaglia has authored an article that describes his Linux Netwosix release, and answers many questions being posed by developers. He reiterates much of the information that he conveyed in a recent interview with LinuxWorld, but also added some new information. One brief outtake from the article (which is posted in full at LinuxWorld): 'The installation is simple and with the new release, Linux Netwosix 2.0-rc1, there's a new setup tool based on the Crux one that really help every user because it is simple and user-friendly for a security/network oriented GNU/Linux distribution. The Setup script will show a simple list of available 'base' packages you can choose to install on your system.'
