Coyote Linux development update

It has been several months since I posted anything about Coyote Linux and the state of its development. When I originally started using Open Embedded to create the initial install images for Coyote, everything went smoothly right up to the point of integrating Mono. The versions of Mono available in OE at the time lacked the necessary features to run Coyote and after several weeks of fighting to get a current build to work properly with OE, I set the project down for a while. I now notice that the latest release of Mono is part of the default OE build so I will take another crack and building Coyote using OE. If it works properly, I will continue using OE for future development - otherwise I have also been tinkering around with rPath Linux. My ultimate goal is to provide a simple, easy to install, and easily updated version of Coyote where the bulk of my development time can be spent on the product features and not the core Linux system itself.

Very sorry for the delay in updates and releases. During the time I have not been working on Coyote Linux itself, I have been working on the software distribution, licensing, and community web sites that will be deployed along with Coyote Linux 4. As Coyote 4 will take a dual license approach to distribution (community and commercial releases), I have also spent a great deal of time and effort making sure that the sales and distribution channels for future releases are much more user friendly and accessible than they were with previous releases of Wolverine for both the end user and resellers. The hardware product line available for Coyote 4 will be much more in-line with other competing products in the small to mid-sized security market.
