Still based on Debian GNU/Linux 8.6 "Jessie" and Xfce 4.12

Less than two weeks after their end-of-year announcement, Eagle Eye Digital Solutions have announced the release of a new update of their security-oriented Linux Kodachi operating system, versioned 3.7.

Linux Kodachi 3.7 looks to us like a hefty point release that adds quite some interesting goodies, starting with support for displaying the computer's MAC address directly on the screen for easy access, and the implementation of the "--data-urlencode" command to cURL post commands.

It also looks like the wlan0 changer was updated to work even if the Wi-Fi connection is disabled, the in-house built VPN (Virtual Private Network) script received some improvements and is now capable of automatically opening files for editing if VPN configuration files aren't set.

Various other VPN and IP resolve issues were patched as well. Another interesting change is the addition of Anonymous wallpapers, probably to attract more hackers to switch to this Debian-based GNU/Linux operating system designed to provide a secure, anti-forensic, and anonymous computer OS.

New, unified script replaces the TOR and VPN ones

Another change in Linux Kodachi 3.7 that caught our attention is a new, unified script that replaces the existing Tor and VPN scripts, making it easier for users to use these two services to protect their anonymity while online. Users should know that, for some reason, the new version also disables the mouse scroll on the workspaces panel.

There are, of course, various other small under-the-hood improvements, but not all that important to some of you. For example, you'll notice that the position of the Cairo Dock and panel was changed, as well as the default Comodo Edit theme, and both the version checker and updated notification systems were improved.

A few other bugs reported by users since Linux Kodachi 3.6 were addressed as well, bringing some small performance improvements to the distribution, which remains based on Debian GNU/Linux 8.6 "Jessie," using the lightweight Xfce 4.12 desktop environment. The Kodachi browser was repositioned, and some icons updated.
