Funtoo Linux

Funtoo Linux is a new project started by Daniel Robbins to improve the Gentoo Linux core system and tools.

Core Architecture Guides are now available to document core Funtoo Linux functionality:

Metro

Metro is an automated distribution building tool that is used to create daily builds of our official Funtoo Linux stages and our Gentoo stages. It uses a recipe-based template system to define build steps.

Keychain

I am the original author and current maintainer of keychain. Keychain helps you to manage ssh and GPG keys in a convenient and secure manner. It acts as a front-end to ssh-agent, but allows you to easily have one long running ssh-agent process per system, rather than the norm of one ssh-agent per login session.

Connect

Here are various ways you can get in touch with the community surrounding these projects, and me too:

The funtoo-dev mailing list and #funtoo irc channel on freenode are open discussion forums that can be used for general discussion or support for Funtoo Linux, as well as Metro and Keychain.

I post regular Funtoo Linux status updates to my blog, and I've also started microblogging on Twitter and identi.ca. You can also connect with me on Facebook or LinkedIn, or email me.

Security Resources

Ryan Vick and I have recently released the Slowloris DOS Mitigation Guide, which explains how to protect yourself against the Slowloris denial of service. Be sure to also check out my Introduction to Keychain.
