Tsert::OS Base Edition v1.0.0 !
Release Date: March 3rd, 2008
Very Very Late Delivery
We have tried to keep our distribution Debian
binary compatible; but,
we have encountered too many problems, while recompiling with
our own products.
We are currently up-to-date with the Sarge release of Debian.
We also have been trying to offer a very thin system, utilising few
resources.
We found the Blackbox window manager to
be the best choice.
We have picked it as our default window manager
1024x768
1280x1024
We have implemented additional features, to simplify
the administration of a networked set of client installations, mainly
with the Tsert::OS Packager and the Tsert::OS search daemon.
We have implemented an incomplete version of our Email browser;
so you can send email in a peer-to-peer fashion. Your emails are sent
as HTTP requests with postdata, and your attachment is
sent only when requested by the recipient after an HTTP HEAD request.
We have included the LGPL gcrypt algorithms in the set of encryption
algorithms available for our Tsert::OS Salt protocol©®.
All connections are protected with SSL and our SALT©® protocol.
The next version will have UDP connections as an added feature.
Caveat
The Base/Community version should only be used as a desktop system
!!!
We make no guarantees to its use as a server.
