This CP+ is kinda cool. Any experiences with it? Looks like Webmin on steroids. Can you manage multiple servers with it from one console? tim

I've used the community version of TSL for about 2 years now, purchased the $50 community-support version back when that was available, and would like to continue to support TSL because it whoops-up on any other distribution I've used for server use.

What differences, if any, can I expect to see between this and
the community version that I've used for several years now?
Trustix OS Enterprise Server is the same as Trustix Secure Linux 2.1 with stack protection enabled and some extra packages added.
Since Trustix Secure Linux 2.2 also got stack protection enabled, buying the OS might not be that interesting unless you need the support. The support is the _real_ differentiator between the two, except for lifecycle (Trustix OS - ES 2 has 3 years IIRC, TSL-2.1 has 1, TSL-2.2 again has 3).
However, when you install Trustix Secure Linux 2.2, you can choose to install "CP+ web-based remote administration". This is a commercial product that also includes a 30-day trial license.
You can then choose to buy a full license (currently at $149 per year or $13 per month) in order to support the Trustix Development. That way you both get to give us money, and get a nice remote GUI administration tool for your trustix system in return.
So I would suggest buying CP+ licenses for your Trustix systems.
Also, it is possible to install CP+ on a up and running Trustix Secure
Linux 2.2 system using swup:
swup --install cpplus
(cpplus is a service and should be enabled with 'chkconfig' and started with 'service')
You get the trial license by following some simple steps in the GUI iirc. More information: http://cpplus.trustix.com/
CP+ will also be available on later Trustix Releases, including 3.0 when it reaches final release.
Kind regards
