IPCop Linux是一份完整的Linux发行，其主旨是保护它所在的网络。在观察了部分Linux发行的发展方向之后，有一部分用户及开发人员感到并不满意，他们认为，一份GPL的Linux防火墙产品应拥有其潜在的力量，而没有理由像眼下这般黯然失色。通过把现有的和创新的技术以及安全编程经验贯彻进来， IPCop成为了那些希望保护他们计算机/网络安全的用户的Linux发行。IPCop Linux小组致力于最好的工作，以尽可能维护你的系统安全，而这正如你可以在我们自己的网站上所看到的那样。“邪恶的网络分组到此就止步了！”
Gilles Espinasse has announced the release of a new version of IPCop Firewall: "This release updates a few tools due to security issues, fixes bugs and updates some drivers. You are encouraged to update from previous releases as soon as you can. IPCop v1.4.13 is released unchanged from 1.4.13rc1. As usual, this version can be installed as an update from previous v1.4.x versions or with a ready-to-go ISO or USB bootable images for a fresh install. Update is split in two parts due to space limits on small configurations. Install the two updates and reboot mandatory. Kernel 2.4.34 is provided. This kernel update may cause trouble with unofficial add-ons not compiled for this kernel." Read the full release announcement for more details. Download: ipcop-1.4.13-install-cd.i386.iso (45.4MB, MD5).
