This is the announcement for Trustix Secure Linux 2.0 beta 1 nickname Tornado.


Being a beta we will not recommend it for production use nor will we 
maintain it.  With some luck and skill, you might be able to swup upgrade
it, but a plain reinstall is recommended.
We release this distribution to give you a chance to test and comment on
it before it evolves into TSL 2.0.  We also wish to thank those who
tested and gave us valuable feedback on the previous technology previews.

We still have a minor list of bugs not yet fixed since technology preview 2,
but we consider the changes between the two pre-releases to be too extensive
for this beta to be postponed any longer.
The first you will notice are some broken dependencies if you do not
install everything and a few odd kernels if you do.
