    ekkoBSD is OpenBSD with an as yet unwritten web front end to the config files.

    Good luck to them but I can't help thinking :

    From the neglected-to-be-mentioned web site [ekkobsd.org]:


    What is it?

    The goal of the ekkoBSD project is to provide a safe, secure, and simple to administer network operating system. This will be accomplished in a democratic manner, with a well-defined hierarchy, and an eye towards new ways of thinking.


    The Operating System

    ekkoBSD as a core OS offers security, stability, and flexibility to your infrastructure. As a default installation, ekkoBSD gives you an E-Mail server, Web Server, ssh, and several other services that would normally need to be added and secured.


    Single Servers

    A concept that has been with ekkoBSD since it's beginning are the implementations of "Single Servers". These are much like the single-floppy firewalls, rescue discs, etc. found within PicoBSD. ekkoBSD/TF is a single server example of a transparent nat firewall on a single floppy, hard disk, or CD.
