baruwa-linux

Baruwa Linux (often referred to as BaruwaOS or Baruwa Enterprise Edition) is a specialized, commercial Linux distribution designed primarily as a comprehensive Email Security Gateway.

Built on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) or CentOS base, it serves as a hardened, "thin" operating system dedicated to protecting mail servers from external threats.


Core Overview
  • Purpose: It functions as an email security bridge between the internet and internal mail servers (like Exchange, Zimbra, or Postfix), scanning all traffic before it reaches the final destination.
  • Architecture: It uses a "best of breed" combination of open-source tools—including MailScanner, SpamAssassin, ClamAV, and PostgreSQL—managed through a proprietary, high-performance web interface.
  • Naming: The name Baruwa is derived from the Swahili word for "letter" or "mail."

We take security seriously

Once you have downloaded an image, be sure to verify it for both security and integrity.

By calculating the image’s checksum on your own computer and comparing it to the original checksum, you can verify the image has not been tampered with or corrupted. Images are also gpg signed with Fedora keys to demonstrate their integrity.

  • Click the verify button to download the checksum file for your downloaded image.

  • Import Linuxrpms's GPG key(s)

                    curl -O https://linuxrpms.com/linuxrpms-gpg.pub

    You can verify the details of the GPG key(s) here.

  • Verify the checksum file is valid

                    gpgv --keyring ./linuxrpms-gpg.pub arcolinux-2024.12.01-*-CHECKSUM

  • Verify the checksum matches

                    sha256sum -c arcolinux-2024.12.01-*-CHECKSUM

If the output states that the file is valid, then it's ready to use!
