Trustix is still open. The original company went under. Trustix then
became Tawie. Another company bought Trustix and its developers and
continues to live on. Infact version 2.1 was just released.

Trustix server based but a GUI Desktop can be built from it. In version
2.1 the IBM Stac Gaurd was added which is the first real such move for
having hardened sucurity. The main bonus with trustix is SWUP. It keeps
your system up to date easily and automaticly if enabled.

As the user base grows the nubmer of packages contrubuted for the
community is growing far beyond just a solid server environment. It has
the potential to challenge the other big distros like debain for number of
packages and the ease of adding them onto your existing system in a year
or so.

Sorry if I got a bit long winded ;)
