Review: United Linux 1.0

Additional Components

The installation routine sets up Xfree86 4.0.2 with KDE 3.0.3 and GNOME 2.0.6 as graphical user interfaces. As with all SuSE distributions, KDE and its integrated applications like Konqueror and Kmail are the primary choice. Mozilla 1.0.1 is offered as an optional web browser.

United Linux contains a large assortment of analyzing and security tools. Among others, these include Logsurfer, Nagios, Nessus, Nmap, Saint, Snort, Tripwire and Webalizer.

Moreover, the distribution out-of-the-box offers clustering, high-availibility features, SNMP and advanced routing. In contrast, the default setup neither includes a C compiler nor devel packages. Both have to be installed separately from the second UL-CD if required.
