« on: May 04, 2007, 01:10:23 PM »
Comodo, a global Certification Authority and leading provider of Identity and Trust Assurance Management solutions, announced today the release of their FREE CentOS and Red Hat-based Linux server suite, Zero Touch Linux (ZTL). This Linux server suite contains applications centrally controlled by a user-friendly web-based interface, like File Server, Print Server, Domain Controller, DNS, Mail Server, Web Mail, Database Server, Web Server, Proxy Server, DHCP server, Content Filtering Server and a Firewall.

Does anyone have experience with this distro? It's also based on centos. I don't post this to change to this distro, just to look at some differences between SME and ZTL.

Hard to tell what the differences are, since thier demos dont work. Not a good sign...

Comodo Group has been supporting Trustix for some time now. ZTL is an offshoot of their Trustix Control Panel:

ZTL provides Admin, Domain and End-User level management access. This is geared for the collocated multi-client hosted appliance space but also works well for single company deployments.

IMO the key strengths of comparative products like ZTL, Trustix, Clark Connect and 'others' is they have a viable corporate business model behind them. Always worthy of keeping an eye on.
