Minimax is a Linux distribution which completely fit to an initrd image, because of this it can boot in every situation, which you can imagine.
It is ultra small (32 MB), but very power full. Minimax distribution contains 2.6 kernel with ALL modules and balanced set of console utils, no X server.
Main features:
- Very small, only 32 MB
- Very good hardware support, see kernel config.
- Fits to initrd, can boot on strange SCSI/SATA/USB disks
- Can be added to /boot partition very easy
- System runs from ramdisk
- Contains only console utils, no x server, see packages
- Modern architecture: kernel 2.6, udev with autosymlinks, module autoloading, based on Arch linux
- Based on uclibc and busybox
Some key software:
- Full 2.6.15 kernel with modules, with autodetection and udev. Takes about 60% of livecd size.
- Installer for Arch linux
- wifi drivers and utils: hostap,wlan-ng, madwifi, ndiswrapper...
- Grub as main bootloader
- Midnight Commander
- Links2 - text and graphic web browser
- FBI - an image viewer
- IRSSI - an irc client
- CenterICQ - an excelent client for icq,msn,jabber...
- Music on console - player with mp3,ogg and online streaming support
- Bash burn - an cd record console frontend
- Partimage - disk mirroring tool
Minimum requirements:
- 64 MB RAM (system needs 32 MB big ramdisk).
- An i386 or better processor.
- Hardware compatible with 2.6.15 kernel, for very old computers (486) is Damm small linux or Puppy linux better choice, becouse of 2.4 kernel
How was it made?
I take uclibc and busybox (software for embedded linux) and compile base system from scratch. I add initscripts from Arch linux, they are very easy to understand and modify. With some other software and modular kernel 2.6 I got system with about 70 MB. After compression with squashfs I got 30 MB big initrd image. Now it was easy to create an CD image.

IOG is a network I/O byte grapher made to track KB/MB/GB totals for hours, days, and months. The project is intended to be simple and fast (to support thousands of hosts), and to integrate well with MRTG.
Data for each host is updated hourly and HTML graphs are created. It uses a data consolidation algorithm which allows for a small, non-growing database file for each host.
Enhancements:
- Fixed bug which causes router/switch reboots to potentially cause large negative values for that particular hour.

MusicBrainz::Client is a MusicBrainz Client API.

SYNOPSIS

use MusicBrainz::Client;
use MusicBrainz::Queries qw(:all);

my $mb = MusicBrainz::Client->new();
if(! $mb->query_with_args( MBQ_FindArtistByName, [ "Pink Floyd" ]) ) {
die("Query failed: ", $mb->get_query_error(), "n");
}
print "Found ", $mb->get_result_int(MBE_GetNumArtists), " artistsn";

This module provides access to the musicbrainz client API using a perl-ish OO interface.

Linux From Scratch (LFS) is a project that provides you with the steps necessary to build your own custom Linux system.
There are a lot of reasons why somebody would want to install an LFS system. The question most people raise is "why go through all the hassle of manually installing a Linux system from scratch when you can just download an existing distribution?". That is a valid question which I hope to answer for you.
The most important reason for LFSs existence is teaching people how a Linux system works internally. Building an LFS system teaches you about all that makes Linux tick, how things work together, and depend on each other. And most importantly, how to customize it to your own taste and needs.
One of the key benefits of LFS is that you are in control over your system without having to rely on somebody elses Linux implementation. You are in the drivers seat now and are able to dictate every single thing such as the directory layout and boot script setup. You will also know exactly where, why and how programs are installed.
Another benefit of LFS is that you can create a very compact Linux system. When you install a regular distribution, you end up installing a lot of programs you probably would never use. Theyre just sitting there taking up (precious) disk space. Its not hard to get an LFS system installed under 100 MB. Does that still sound like a lot? A few of us have been working on creating a very small embedded LFS system. We installed a system that was just enough to run the Apache web server; total disk space usage was aproximately 8 MB. With further stripping, that can be brought down to 5 MB or less. Try that with a regular distribution.
If we were to compare a Linux distribution with a hamburger you buy at a supermarket or fast-food restaurant, you would end up eating it without knowing precisely what it is you are eating, whereas LFS gives you the ingredients to make a hamburger. This allows you to carefully inspect it, remove unwanted ingredients, and at the same time allow you to add ingredients to enhance the flavour of your hamburger. When you are satisfied with the ingredients, you go on to the next part of putting it together. You now have the chance to make it just the way you like it: broil it, bake it, deep-fry it, barbeque it, or eat it raw.
Another analogy that we can use is that of comparing LFS with a finished house. LFS will give you the skeleton of a house, but its up to you to install plumbing, electrical outlets, kitchen, bathtub, wallpaper, etc.
Another advantage of a custom built Linux system is added security. You will compile the entire system from source, thus allowing you to audit everything, if you wish to do so, and apply all the security patches you want or need to apply. You dont have to wait for somebody else to provide a new binary package that fixes a security hole. Besides, you have no guarantee that the new package actually fixes the problem (adequately). You never truly know whether a security hole is fixed or not unless you do it yourself.
Enhancements:
- The LFS LiveCD Team is proud to announce the release of the x86-6.2-3 version of LFS LiveCD. This version is built using LFS 6.2 and many Beyond Linux From Scratch packages from the Subversion branch. Source packages for LFS 6.2, and the LFS book itself, are included on the live CD. The CD is also suitable as a host for building x86 and x86_64 Cross LFS systems. Other features and bugfixes: the CD supports hibernation; the CD file system can be written to; the CD contains a visually pleasing and easy-to-use window manager, XFce...
