Free linux filesystems software for linux

Filesystems HOWTO is about filesystems and accessing filesystems from several OSes.

This HOWTO is a document that describes a wide variety of filesystems and instructs you on how to access them from a wide variety of operating systems.

linux-look is a SuperKaramba theme that contains 2 monitors, which are the same (only the color off the font is different). In the preview you can see the different in color .

I give credit to Beany for the buttons off the amarok-player.

PLD Linux is operating system, which can be applied on Your computer. Huge amount of packages available, makes that everyone should find something useful.

The distribution is being developed in Poland by Poles however, we would like users from all around the world to use it.

The PLD Linux Team has released the first official stable version on November, 22, 2002.

Monkey Linux can be extracted to the DOS filesystem (to the FAT32 too). This is complete small ELF distribution with latest kernel on 5 diskettes. Monkey can run on this minimal HW: 386SX, 4MB RAM, 30MB on IDE HDD.
Contain X Window for any SVGA videocard, support for network, support for 3C5x9, 3c59x, 3c900, NE2000/NE1000, WD80x3 ethernet cards, ATAPI/MITSUMI CD. There is some ready-to-install packages, GCC and kernel source for compiling your own kernel too.
Main features:
- minimal Linux ELF distribution in 7.5MB archive (5 diskettes)
- Monkey is small, but is not only a toy
- contain X Window
- full network support with TCP/IP and IPX/SPX
- latest Kernel with modules
- some ready-to-install packages with usefull software
- usually Linux distributions need repartition with previous full backup. With Monkey Linux you can simply extract all the files to one directory. Linux will use MSDOS FAT as well as I think (also FAT32). This allows you to experiment with Linux everywhere you want. You do not need to know anything about fdisk, ext2, bootdisk, rootdisk, etc.
- you may install any other Linux applications
- Monkey is not really complete distribution - use Slackware, RedHat, etc. (Monkey will be probably your first step...)
- X Window Xfree 3.2 (SVGA server for Trident, Cirrus, Realtek, ...)
- Fvwm95, xterm
- editors: vi, joe (Wordstar compatibile editor)
- telnet, ssh, ftp, traceroute, nslookup, Lynx, (Netscape in the installable package)
- bootpd, bootpgw, cron
- many utilities for text procesing (awk, sed, perl, ...)
- utilities for working with IPX/SPX
- support for many filesystems

Rubix is a Linux distribution forked from Slackware Linux.
It differs from its parent in that Rubix uses Arch Linuxs pacman for simplified package management with dependency resolution and it has a completely revamped init system, maintaining the BSD style, but adding modularity.
What is Rubix?
- It is a new Linux distribution that is something of a fork of Slackware 10.1.
- It will branch off in its own direction very quickly, in many ways, it already has.
- It maintains the Slackware traditions of Simplicity, Security and Stability.
- It will run on all i486 hardware and newer and is optimized for i686.
- It is designed to support mission critical hardware and be very admin friendly.
- It is a great distribution for knowledgable *NIX users!
- If you know Slackware, you will do great in Rubix!
How is Rubix different from Slackware?
- Rubix uses Arch Linuxs pacman for simplified package management with dependency resolution.
- Rubix has completely revamped the init system, maintaining the BSD style, but adding modularity.
- Rubix uses gcc 3.4.1 and compiles most packages with SSP (aka: ProPolice), and PIE (Position Independant Executable) wherever possible, but will never patch software just to make it compile with SSP andor PIE. This means that Rubix should not be thought of as a hardened distribution as many packages can not be compiled with SSP, however, it does mean that Rubix is harder than most. This logic makes most software more secure and does not require downstream patching for compatability, a major goal of Rubix.
Enhancements:
- This is the inaugural release of the Rubix Linux operating system. Rubix Linux is distributed with the Linux kernel versions 2.6.15.5, 2.4.32 and 2.4.32-grsec. Rubix Linux is well equipped to serve in both desktop and server roles. Rubix has exceptional hardware detection with udev replacing hotplug for 2.6 kernels and the latest KDE desktop version 3.5.1. Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.1 and Thunderbird 1.5 are now the default web browser and email client. Rubix Linux also supports the best modern filesystems including ext2, ext3, JFS, XFS, ReiserFS and now Reiser4 (with 2.6 kernels) from installation.

Icepack linux is an independent Linux distribution built from scratch. Our objective is to offer you a user-friendly full-featured operating system, pre-configured, well structured and easy to work with, and filled with the latest stable versions of great Linux applications.

You dont need a profound Linux knowledge to install and use Icepack - our install manager guides you safely through the installation process, and the desktops and menus are self-explanatory!

Linux MSN Messenger Engine is a fully asynchronous, and fully multithreaded MSN messenger engine.
Preliminary releases will be statically combined with an ncurses console-based EPIC4-like interface for instant messaging functionality.
Enhancements:
- Code cleanup
