Free knoppix 5.0 software for linux

MiniKnoppix is a all-in-one sysadmin rescue CD. MiniKnoppix is a Linux Live CD based on Knoppix.

Basically it is a complete and totally functional GNU/Linux operating system that boots and works from the CDROM. This way theres no need to install it on the hard drive.

Knoppix is (possibly) the best Linux Live CD nowadays. The original version fits in a 74 minutes (650MB) CDROM and carries more than 900 software packages ranging from office applications, development tools, multimedia players, games, different desktop environments and almost anything you can think of.

MiniKnoppix is born out of the necessity (some of us have) to carry a GNU/Linux operating system everywhere. Knoppix fits in a standard CDROM that you can carry in a rucksack, a suitcase, in your car,... But it is not so wearable for the daily use. MiniKnoppix takes up 200MB and can be toasted in a 8 cm. CDROM. So you can carry it in your wallet, which is its goal.

MiniKnoppix is JUST Knoppix WITHOUT a HUGE amount of software. To sum up, MiniKnoppix does not have games, development tools/libs, most of the multimedia players, office tools,... MiniKnoppix has only one graphical environment (KDE), its browser (konqueror), mail, web and news text based clients (mutt, slrn, links) and lots of tools for system administration (backup/restore, filesystem check/creation, security, network testing, and more!).

KNOPPIX-NSM is dedicated to providing a framework for individuals wanting to learn about Network Security Monitoring.
We have tryed to do most of the hard work to help get the beginner/newbie up and running fast so they spend more time learning about NSM, leaving the details as a later exercise once familiar with the concepts.
KNOPPIX-NSM is based on the ever popular Knoppix, which means that you can test all the tools in a live session running on the cd without installing to harddrive. KNOPPIX-NSM has the added bonus of be able to install to harddisk so you can deploy a NSM framework into your production network and use it for realtime monitoring.
Some of the benefits include:
Rapid sensor deployment
You can boot you sensors from the live CD, store all data to a local HD partion and have them logging back to a central server.
Complete out of channel Intrusion Detection and Analysis center
With KNOPPIX-NSM you can deploy a complete NSM network to monitor your existing network infrastructure. KNOPPIX-NSM comes pre-configured for deployment of multiple sensors and databases, all you need to do is create the sensor accounts in the database and change some passwords.
Secure
KNOPPIX-NSM has been built with security in mind. All remote communications are over ssl tunnels so that you do not have to be concerned about eaves droppers if you decide to run KNOPPIX-NSM in your main network channels. Another feature is the use of iptables to ensure that only allowed hosts can connect and only necessary services are visible to the network.
Easy console deployment
Need another console, just boot from the cd (setting the host and ip at boot time) and you are up and running straight away.
The intent of KNOPPIX-NSM is to provide a distrubtion with accompanying documentation on the tools that we have selected and how they are put together in the NSM framework.
Main features:
- all remote management over ssl/ssh,
- all tools installed, patched and ready to run,
- automated scripts for easy installation/modification,
- support for bonded network interfaces,
- based on knoppix Live CD,
- debian based when installed to harddrive,
- ease of maintenance through apt-get,

Knoppix Elphel is a Live CD based in Knoppix 4.0.2.

This release includes new AJAX GUI (camvc) with DVR capability in addition to the earlier developed software.

Archive (LiveCD-1.5.0.build.tar) include all files, needed for build live CD/DVD manually, except original CD/DVD images. Please see build instruction in README file in archive.

Elphel, Inc. was started in 2001 to provide high performance cameras based on free software and hardware designs. Freedom of the users of Elphel products is our top priority - we value and protect it with the GNU General Public License that covers all the Elphel software and hardware designs.

[Elphel] is Software and HDL code for Elphel reconfigurable network cameras.

Monoppix is a Live CD Linux distribution (based on Knoppix), which means you pop it in your CD drive, reboot, and youre running Linux.
It works without installing a thing on your hard drive - it runs completely off the CD and RAM.
Showcasing and spreading Mono technology which is a free .NET framework implementation to linux/unix operating systems.
Main features:
- Mono runtime environment, complier and class libraries,
- Monodevelop - Mono enabled IDE,
- XSP - ASP.NET web server,
- GTK# - for desktop applications (sample included),
- MySQL database server,
- Quickstarts and Mono walkthroughs and tutorials.

ClusterKnoppix is a modified Knoppix distro using the OpenMosix kernel.
Main features:
- OpenMosix terminal server - uses PXE, DHCP and tftp to boot linux clients via the network.
- No cdrom drive/harddisk/floppy needed for the clients
- openMosix autodiscovery - new nodes automatically join the cluster (no configuration needed)
- Cluster Management tools - openMosix userland/openMosixview Every node has root access to every other node via ssh/RSAkeys
- MFS/dfsa support
- Every node can run full blown X (PC-room/demo setup) or console only (more memory available)
Enhancements:
- Sync with latest Knoppix release
- openmosix 2.4.27-om-20040808 from tabs patches (http://openmosix.snarc.org)
- openmosix-tools 0.3.6-2
- tyd 1.5
- added: openswan 2.1.5, ipw2100, drbd, fuse, bcm4400 (debian package)
- new feature: option to boot 2.4.27-om-migshm-20040808 from (http://dev.gentoo.org/~voxus/om/) type migshm after the boot: prompt
- new feature: option to boot chaos nodes as PXE clients (chaos kernel upgraded to openmosix 2.4.27-om-20040808 and 2.4.27-om-migshm-20040808)

Accelerated KNOPPIX is a fast-booting variant of the popular KNOPPIX live CD.

The mechanism of acceleration in the live CD

A cloop profiler is developed in order to grasp the access situation of CD.

Although various files are referred to in Live CD in the case of a system startup, since each position of media is dotted with the file, a lot of seeking will generate it at the time of reading. If the seek time of this CD is lost, it will be said that data can be transmitted at a stretch from CD. Then, the seek time of a pickup is reduced by rearranging the file read at the time of starting on a block level.

Live CD performs automatic recognition of the peripheral equipment of PC at the boot sequence.

Although the cache of the file required for starting of a desktop are predicted and carried out in the meantime, if there are few memories which can be used for cache, starting will become slow conversely. By this development, memory capacity is examining making it an effect show up at least because the predicted data carries out the cache of the compression image of cloop as it is.

ParallelKnoppix is a remaster of the Knoppix live CD distibution of GNU Linux that allows setting up a cluster of machines for parallel processing using the LAM-MPI and/or MPICH implementations of MPI.

You can convert a room full of machines running Windows into a Linux cluster, and when you shut down, your Windows machines are in their original state. The computers in the cluster can be homogeneous or heterogeneous.

Getting the cluster up and running takes about 5 minutes, if the machines have PXE network cards. Clusters from 2 to 200 machines are supported.
