OK, I'll bite.
- full IPSEC support
VPN server and client, with easy client setup foo (ifup/down-ipsec
is there, but references racoon which seems not to be included in FC1,
at least I find no *ipsec* or *racoon* RPMs). Please use
SuperFreeSWAN's IKE daemon (pluto), reasons outlined by Dax Kelson
in another mail in this thread.
- SELinux (work already in progress. NICE.)
- XFS support in installer
- mtr with IPv6 support (patches are available)
[and please provide a /usr/bin/mtr -> xmtr symlink]
- support (also in the installer!) for encrypted filesystems
- WaveLAN drivers: madwifi and prism54
http://sourceforge.net/projects/madwifi/
http://www.prism54.org/
Most cards nowadays use the Atheros (madwifi) or Prism chipsets,
otherwise you're really dead in the water for waveLAN under Linux
- Enlightenment, with proper integration into GNOME like it was in
Red Hat Linux 6.2 *sniff*
- barebone install, as already discussed in this thread
- Postfix default MTA, probably get rid of sendmail altogether
- Courier as IMAP4/POP3 daemon with IPv6 and SSL support out-of-the-box,
to replace the other imap/pop server daemons.
Also include maildrop (procmail-like tool which integrates with
Courier's virtual user management) and perhaps squirrelmail (webmail
frontend).
- support secondary addresses for interfaces also for IPv4
(already supported for IPv6 via IPV6_SECONDARIES in the ifcfg files)
- Galeon as lightweight, but still usable and quite stable browser
- syslog-ng (really)
- RRDTOOL, Cricket (network statistics)
- online filesystem resizing (shrinking & expansion)
- l2tpd, L2TP tunneling support (client & server, same as with IPSEC)
Best regards,
Daniel
