That´s a long answer, because there will be many changes. But the main highlights:
Nessus, Zebra, Yersinia, Ettercap, Kerberos, Cyrus, Slapt-get + GSlapt, Wifi Scanner, Tripwire, Dsniff, Driftnet, Firewalk, Fakeconnect, Openslp. Update of everything else + fixes. KDE 3.4.2 + Cyrus, Kerberos, Openslp Support. Hardware Recognition (not Kudzu - relax). The new version of the penetration package - I added many small goodies. And maybe - I´m not sure if I´ll have time for this - the RTAI-Kernel (www.rtai.org) and some Bluetooth packages.
