<sect> More About the Sentry Firewall Project
<sect1> Goals
<p> The general goal of this project is mentioned several times within the documentation. That is simply, to build
a bootable CDROM-based system that can be easily and dynamically configured. In the end, I wanted the
configuration to rival that of any commercial router that utilizes configuration files(ie. Cisco). I also wanted
the system to be simple, secure, and highly functional in a large number of operating environments - not just
as a firewall. This, of course, has proven to be a difficult balance to maintain.
At the present time, the basic goals have been fulfilled. However, I believe there is still a great deal of
development that can and needs to be done in order for the Sentry Firewall to be a truly diverse Linux
distribution.

<sect1> Supporting the Project
<p> There are various ways one can support this project. The easiest and most common way is to simply
utilize the system in a test or production environment and send me suggestions, bugs, or other such
feedback. For those interested in assisting with the enhancement of any of the Sentry Firewall CD
branches, please check out the TODO file located in /SENTRY/docs/TODO on the CD image, or online at
<url url="http://www.SentryFirewall.com/files/sentrycd/docs/TODO" name="http://www.SentryFirewall.com/files/sentrycd/docs/TODO">
or
<url url="http://www.SentryFirewall.com/files/sentrycd-rh/docs/TODO" name="http://www.SentryFirewall.com/files/sentrycd-rh/docs/TODO">.
I do, on occasion, make the Sentry Firewall CD available for purchase. I also accept donations including hardware,
software, currency, or anything else that you feel can help. Revenues from such donations or CD sales will help
support the continued development of the project. If you are interested in supporting this project please feel free
to contact me at the information provided below, or email me at <url url="mailto:Obsid@Sentry.net" name="Obsid@Sentry.net">.

<sect1> About the Author
<p> The Sentry Firewall project has only ever had a single developer, Stephen Zarkos(me) of Bellevue, Washington(USA).
I began work on the project around April of 2000, probably ruining 200 CD-Rs before I got my first stable
Sentry Firewall CD. And for the last two years I have been continuing to develop, enhance and maintain the project -
give or take a few months here and there while I took a short hiatus(marriage, education, etc).
From the beginning, this project has proven to be quite popular, and has received a great deal of support
and feedback from its loyal users. This kind of support has proven invaluable, and has kept me motivated
to continue to develop this project. There is nothing I would rather do right now than work on and enhance
this system, however since I do not get paid to develop this project, it is only a part-time endeavor.
Even so, the positive comments and feedback I receive has without a doubt made this the most enjoyable project
I have ever been a part of.
