Ultimate Edition 1.8, an Ubuntu-based distribution featuring a variety of user-friendly enhancements, has been released.

Ultimate Edition 1.8 is built based off Ubuntu Hardy Heron, unlike previous builds which were created by a tool called reconstructor the development team built this one by hand. it is by far their best work. The team releasing both a 32 bit & a 64 Bit edition. Hotrod is a fitting name for it, if you have a 64 bit processor it highly recommend the 64 bit edition.

Devil-Linux is a CD-based Linux distribution for firewalls and routers. The goal of Devil-Linux is to have a small, customizable and secure Linux. The future of Devil-Linux will go far beyond an ordinary router, it will provide a lot of other services, but the distribution will still be easy and fast to maintain.

Features:

* Boots from CD
Traditionally Devil Linux boots from a CD-ROM which is read-only by nature. This means an intruder will not be able to install i.e. an “ordinary” root kit.

* Boots from USB pendrive
As all movable parts in your computer, the CD-ROM is prone to failure. This is the reason why we provide a script to install the entire system on an USB pendrive. Note: You need a computer which is able to boot from USB harddisks, in order to use this feature.

* Configuration is saved on a floppy disc or on a USB Flash Media
Due to the read-only nature of CD-ROMs, you need a place to save your configuration files. This can either traditionally be on a floppy disc or on a USB flash media (like a pendrive), to increase the reliability.

* Configuration can be burned on CD
There are cases when you have to ensure that the configuration can’t be modified. This is the reason why we provide the feature for loading the configuration archive from the (read-only) CD-ROM.
