Unlike Chrome, litlOS is focused on creating a new and better web experience for the home, so we don't have the usual browser interface, we have our own innovative UI. In conjunction with easel mode (litl's inverted-V position) and our growing cohort of litl channels (special apps t...
For a system administrator like me, this is really a good thing, because you have a full and really light system to work on. No useless packages were installed.
Every SysAdmin wants to configure networks and work with them with the possibility of doing everything alone. Another good initiative is that Linux Netwosix's ISO image is about 240 Mb, very fast to download and burn on a CD. Moreover, Netwosix chooses the best "network security" related software for you. In fact, in the “/netwosix/additional” directory of the official Netwosix CD there are a lot of ready to compile networking-security packages.
Once I installed Netwosix on my home server, I decided to perform it for my desktop. So, I Googled and found the needed package to create from scratch a fully desktop distribution. I have successfully installed Linux Netwosix on my laptop (AMD 2400+, 40 GB hardisk, 256 MB Ram, and a motherboard integrated sound card and video).
You can use Netwosix like a Linux Desktop OS as well, even if its packages and tools are mainly oriented to security. Now i have a Desktop OS based on Netwosix, and not only a server, and i'm happy. Netwosix is really highly configurable distribution and multiuse. Enjoy!
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.
but what happen? My browser (FF 1.5) jumps on the Microsoft site insteed!!!
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.'
