Trustix Secure Linux 2.0 Techology Preview 2 (Forecast)

Hello,

This is the announce for Trustix Secure Linux 2.0 Techology Preview 2
nicknamed Forecast.

Being a technology preview it is not suitable for production use nor to
be considered maintained regarding security.
We release this distribution to give you a chance to test and comment on
it before it evolves into TSL 2.0.  We also wish to thank those who
tested and gave us valuable feedback on the previous technology preview.

We still have a minor list of bugs not yet fixed since technology preview 1,
but we consider the changes between the two previews to be too extensive
for this release to be postponed any longer.
