Coyote v1.29 Repackaged

Coyote Linux v1.29 has been repackaged to fix a bug that prevented it from booting on most systems. The experimental support for a serial port console has been removed as it was the cause of the problems. If you downloaded v1.29 prior to May 28th, 2001, and it will not properly boot, try downloading it again and creating a new disk.

Coyote Linux 1.29

Coyote Linux v1.29 has been released and is available for download. This represents the latest stable release of Coyote Linux. This version include the 2.2.19 kernel, updated ICQ and h.323 masquerading modules, PPPoE fixes, and experimental support for a serial port console.

New web site and server

The Coyote Linux site is currently being transitioned over to the new site design and server. Please bear with me over the next day or two as portions of the site may be broken or missing. I am working as quickly as possible to make the site work as it should.

Beta testing the new web server

The web boards are currently being served up by a new web server that scheduled to replace the one that hosts this site. Due to the fact that this is beta-test period for this server, access to the online forums may be somewhat unreliable over the course of the next few days. If all goes well with the forums tests, I will switch over to the new server as well as the new site that is currently in development.

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.
