Screenshot About:
Devil-Linux is a special secure Linux distribution which is used for firewalls, routers, gateways, and servers. The goal of Devil-Linux is to have a small, customizable, and secure Linux system. Configuration is saved on a floppy disk or USB stick, and it has several optional packages. Devil-Linux boots from CD, but can be stored on CF cards or USB sticks.

[»] A GREAT Linux Security Distro
by MaNU ESCaR - Feb 1st 2004 08:14:41

This Security aimed distro catch me for over two years now and I can't imagine working without it today!

I'm not a code writer but the build system is so clean it's a game to add new and custom features to your own Devil version. I even made contributions, despite I don't understand anything in developping software!

I love that system is on CD and can't be modified by a potential intruder! But you can also use USB sticks or whatever you want to hold distribution and so fit to your specific hardware : turn your old (or new) hardware in a strong and powerfull dedicated security gateway.

a MUST TRY!

    Manu, I am interested in trying Devil-Linux. What steps would I need to take to deploy a bootable compact flash version?

      Take a look at our documentation. It's not very extensive, but it gets you started.
      "8.5. Booting Devil-Linux from devices other than the CD-ROM"
      http://www.devil-linux.org/documentation/1.2.x/ch01s08.html#d0e1267

      Also don't use the new 1.2.7, it has some issues which we're currently resolving.

      Heiko
