http://www.intrago.co.uk/products/cn_brochure.pdfhttp://www.intrago.co.uk/products/censornet.phpthis looks to me like a linux distro based on Debian and it's specifically designed to be installed on machines destined to be dedicated firewalls. It looks a bit like it is targeted to the 'Of course it needs a GUI!' winNT crowd. It's so couched in buzzwords though that i am a bit confused.
Of course i do not imagine i need this product, or ever will, but it is so different from the linuces i have heard of and used i thought i would start a topic about it to try and stimulate a bit of discussion about using linux for this sort of thing. Maybe somebody's even used this distro?

CensorNet is an Internet Management Appliance designed to control and monitor individuals accessing Internet resources on a local area network.
This dedicated server inspects all inbound and outbound data and decides, based on configurable rules, whether the individual or workstation concerned has the correct access profile to allow the request to be completed.
The dedicated CensorNet server examines traffic as it flows to and from the Internet ensuring that the rules you have configured are adhered to. The server is scalable and can easily cope in high traffic environments, making it perfect for large enterprises or educational institutes.
CensorNet also dramatically increases access to frequently visited Web sites through its integrated Web cache making the most effective use of the Internet connection available. Its built-in firewall defends your network from intruders ensuring your network is safe from external attack.
The ethos of CensorNet is to make more productive use of Internet resources in any organisation, reduce the time associated with network administration and ultimately improve business efficiency.
