We have released the Preview of Black Lab Enterprise Linux 6. The release of Black Lab Enterprise Linux 6 signals our 8 years of operation in the enterprise and education sectors. There were three things that we focused on with this release.

A) Compatibility. We have worked to be as compatible with other Linux distributions as well as Microsoft Windows. B) Security. Security and data security is paramount. We have built in DoD specification wipe, stronger folder and file encryption as well as setting system access times. C) Management. We have built in utilities to help users manage VM's, to help them manage Windows systems and to ease the management of their Black Lab Enterprise Linux environments
