Re: The closing of IPCop.

Thanks Jack, for many years of support for the group of us.

I've been using IPCop for at least 10 years.  The earliest dated file I have is from 2006, and the earliest ZERINA is 2007. :-)

Switched to IPFire as IPCop has been simple enough for my understanding (and the hardware I run it on), but good enough to provide both the security and remote access I've needed.  I hope IPFire will continue the good work.

So long,
and thanks for all the fish.

p.s. I still have (in a cardboard box in the loft) the first IPCop I installed on a Compaq 2 CPU workstation (before the time of dual core processors).  Old, but robust hardware.
