Gopher Linux...

[mjn <mjn@umn.edu>]

I just sat in on a little talk about the UofM distro of linux: Gopher
Linux.  

It is little more than a thinly veiled version of RedHat but still quite
cool that they are doing it.  Traditionally dangerous or possibly
dangerous services have been disabled by default (http, ftp, telnet,
finger, sendmail, etc).  OpenSSH is included.

From what I gathered it is the Redhat installer with an gophux.rpm running
at the end which disables/reconfigures services.  All of the changes to
the distro are noted in the docs on the ISO.  Kinda cool.
