The first stable release of the Wolverine Firewall and VPN Server is now available from Vortech Consulting. CDs and documentation are available for purchase from Vortech Consulting.
Unfortunately, a lack of funding has prompted a decision to change this product from freeware to a commercial application. While Wolverine is no longer freely available for download, it is still an open-source application (the full source code is available on the CDs).
Commercial support is also being offered for Wolverine. If you or your company would be interested in installation, support, or customized development, please contactÂ

After returning home from a short vacation, I was greeted by a couple dozen flame-mails about how I need to move the Coyote Linux FAQ to a more accessible location, how the new web site design sucks because somebody can't find something, or how I am intentionally trying to upset the Linux community or waste peoples' time by releasing such a "junk" product. Well, if you have any such related opinion of this site or product, read on.
First off, I am NOT the author of the Coyote Linux FAQ. I also do NOT host it. If you are having trouble locating the FAQ, there is a link to the site that supports and hosts it under "Web Links - Coyote Documentation".
If you can't find something, try the search feature that is built into this site. If you still can't find something, don't send me a piece of hate mail about it, you will only get a rude response in return... try the forums.
Last, but not least, if you don't like Coyote Linux, DON'T USE IT. I don't owe you anything, this is a FREE product and nobody is forcing you to use it! If you are too lazy to RTFM or ask a simple question in the forums, don't start cussing me up one side and down the other... this sort of feedback will only put an abrupt end to the Coyote Floppy project.
I am not sure why the new site layout has prompted such a hostile series of responses, but quite frankly, quit griping at me about it. The new layout is not going away. As I continue to add new products it is only going to get more in depth. As a result of this, you may have to look a tiny bit harder to find something.

The Coyote Linux web site has been overhauled (again). The new site is using a PHP-Nuke backend with a custom theme and several custom modules. This change is intended to provide a more robust site layout to merge both the floppy and embedded Coyote sites as well as offer a location for some new products and services.
In addition, I have converted the forum software (phorum) to work as a PHP-Nuke plugin. If you experience any problems with the forums, please let me know as I am fairly certain there may still be a bug or two to work out. Forum logins have been disabled until I get PHP-Nuke security integrated into phorum.
Additional content will be added over the course of the next couple days to fill in some of the blank sections on the site.
