Scheduled Coyote Release Date

The Coyote public demo went well and the master CD's have been cut. The planned release date for Coyote is 11/26/1999. The current price tag on the Windows configurable CD's is set at $49.95 with a build-it-yourself, free version to be posted on Vortech's FTP software archive site on 11/27/1999.

For those of you who ordered a copy in advance, the CD's will be available Friday at the Hard Drive Cafe in Akron.

Both the Free and Commercial versions include the full source code for the Linux system itself, as well as the GNU based code that was used to create some Linux compatible Windows libraries.

Information

Coyote Linux is a security-centric mini-distribution of Linux designed specifically to function as a network edge firewall and VPN server. Developed by Vortech Consulting, LLC, Coyote is tailored for users who prioritize safety and efficiency in their home networks while preferring a simplistic and minimal solution.

Originally launched in 1999 during an era when consumer internet routers were non-existent, Coyote Linux emerged from the need for effective internet sharing across home and small business networks.
