Robust yet intuitive, I was genuinely impressed. Here's to hoping this change builds on the great work they've already done.

looks like they have a clear plan. I really liked Clark Connect, here's hoping ClearOS keeps the momentum going.

I remember using ClarkConnect in '02 or '03 and it's performance and ease of use was outstanding.

So to have ClarkConnect go open, is great news, another one to check out. Especially if they're keeping the features.

Now that Clark is fully open and free it may factor more for me. All around very good news though...

I switched from IPCop at the time. It's really good and low maintenance and offers a lot of features out of the box.

A few months ago, the PIII box I had running CC died. I pulled the hard drive out and put it in a completely different system and it worked right away. All I had to do was reconfigure the network adapters.

All I'm missing at this point is AD integration. Wed, 16 Sep 2009 14:32:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Ventajou) Comments
