Free linux 1.0 software for linux

Jedo Linux (pronounced jed-o), is a simple, clean Linux distribution that aims to provide a reliable distro for power users. Its best described as a cross between Linux From Scratch (LFS), Redhat and Gentoo.

Jedo Linux is a original distro (not built on any existing one), although it tends to lean towards LFS and feels a bit like Redhat when using it.

Source based distro allows rapid development, and makes it easy for users to tweak the distro to their liking. (most packages can also be installed from binaries)

Vanilla Kernel Jedo Linux runs a vanilla kernel, and this is updated regularly to the latest stable kernel.

Decent Support Life 3yr support life by default (may be adjusted depending on usage and versions avalible).

Release Cycle Aim to release a new version about once every 2 years, and release feature updates roughly every 6months for released versions. (of course security updates are released ASAP)

Desktop Distro Designed for use on desktops and laptops.

OSS All software included in the default install is Open Source (or Freedom Software) - including firmware. Some closed source software is in the repo, but it is clearly marked in the "nonfree" category. If you dont belive in using propietary software or kernel modules, none will be installed without you requesting it. Software that uses patented technology (eg: libdvdcss) is also in the "nonfree" category.

For expert users Its a distro for Linux power users - installer and config tools are all CLI and assumes you know all about partitioning, package management, etc.

New, but not bleeding Jedo Linux uses the latest stable technology - latest & greatest but not bleeding edge - because people like having their systems work as expected. Jedo Linux gives you good tools that work so you can get on with what you want to do without having to mess about fixing the OS.

Basicly, its a distro aimed at your LFS compiling, technically skilled Linux user who wants a distro that is simple to use and install - its not for your average Mum & Dad who just want to send email - that sort of user should look at something like Ubuntu. Neither is it a server distro as its not feature frozen - use something like Redhat EL/CentOS or Debian if you are after a feature distro with a long support life.

ValEnt Linux is a complete home and office operating system that is easy to use and install, it can be run directally from the CD or installed to your hard drive. ValEnt Linux includes application for: Writing documents, Spreadsheets, Database, Image Manipulation (GIMP), Audio and video (MP3 DVD Divx and much more), FTP clients, Email clients, Internet browsers, CD burning utilities and much more

Plan-B is a bootable Linux environment without the need for a hard drive, it runs entirely in ram or from the cd, based on a basic, stripped installation of Red Hat Linux and the fundamental workings of the SuperRescue CD. A list of tools and utilities are also included for projects such as:

* Forensics/Data Recovery
* System/Network Analysis and Security Scanning
* Temporary Network Device/Server
* IDS / NIDS System
* Network Status Report Creation

My reason for its creation came about due to finding other similar projects (SuperRescue CD, Biatchux (F.I.R.E.), Trinux, Knoppix) to be geared toward only a single area of the broad spectrum I was looking for. The first of which (by H. Peter Anvin, the author of Syslinux, Isolinux, and zisofs) was the only one close to the concept I had in mind which is why I chose it as the foundation for this cd. After not finding what I was really looking for, the "All-in-One", I decided the only way to get it was to build one myself.
