should meet the needs of our growing enterprise community.

Having built an enviable reputation for stability and security, Trustix
proves consistently to be one of the quickest organizations in the world
to issue security patches and updates. More importantly the Trustix
secure patch management system - SWUP (Software Updater) deploys patches
to mission critical applications securely efficiently and effectively.
This latest release further strengthens the security message and sets a
rock solid baseline for new and existing customers of the free to
use - Trustix Secure Linux - distribution.

Complementing our mission to produce the most reliable server OS
available, Trustix have also made huge strides towards making Linux easier
to configure and administrate. Server automation tools such as CP+
facilitate the quick and easy, web based administration of your dedicated
Trustix OS based server - simplifying the usually complex management of
tasks such as Samba file sharing, MySQL databases, firewall configuration,
web site hosting including DNS management and email.
 
Trustix remains committed to the open source community with Trustix Secure
Linux 3.0 being the next step in the evolution of the world's most secure
free commercially supported Linux distribution.
