Free linux hardware requirements software for linux

X Hardware Monitor is a hardware monitor that shows indicators for temperature, voltage, fan speed etc, of a running system with a graphical panel.

The default configuration allows to monitor up to 3 temperatures, 3 fan speeds and 6 voltages. This tool is more particularly adequate for bi-processor systems.

Hardware 4 Linux project contains a set of tools to report Linux-compatible hardware to hardware4linux.info.
Enhancements:
- This release anonymizes dmidecode output, collects OS version files instead of calling osinfo, collects audio codec files, adds a README, and collects PCI modules.

Linux LiveCD Router Documentation package contains documentation for the Linux LiveCD Router.
Linux LiveCD Router allows you to share and firewall your broadband connection and use WiFi.
It works with DSL, cable modem, T1, and dial-up connections and supports inexpensive hardware such as USB and PCMCIA WiFi and ethernet cards. It does not require a hard disk.
Enhancements:
- The administration manual has been updated with a new chapter on simple PuTTY SSH tunnels.

Linux distribution race is a cool car race for 4 players, cars are named by Linux distributions (Mandrake, SUSE, RedHat, Debian).

You can create maps in GIMP. Controls: WSAD, TGFH, IKJL, arrows.

CCux Linux is a GNU/Linux Distribution especially optimized for i686 and higher Processor Architectures.
For Package Management it uses the old fashioned rpm Format in connection with the also well known apt Tools.
Using that, it features automatic Dependency resolving when installing new Software and so making the Installation of new Software much more easier.
But the main Feature is still the Optimization for modern CPU Architectures. Many other Distros still use old fashioned Standards for that and therefor limit the Possibility to gain a high performance System.
Hardware supported:
- Pentium II
- Pentium Pro / Celeron
- Pentium III / Celeron Coppermine
- Pentium 4 / Xeon
- Athlon / Duron / K7 (Athlon-XP und Athlon-MP)
- Cyrix M2
- Opteron / Athlon64

The Linux-Mobile-Guide is a guide for users of Linux and laptops, notebooks, PDAs and other mobile computers.
This guide was former known as Linux-Laptop-HOWTO but was now extended to cover Linux and mobile computer devices in general (laptops, PDAs, mobile cell phones, digital cameras, calculators, wearables, ...). These devices are different from desktop/tower computers.
They use certain hardware such as PCMCIA cards, infrared and BlueTooth ports, batteries, docking stations. Hardware parts cannot be changed as easily as in a desktops, e.g. the graphics card. Often their hardware is more limited (e.g. disk space, CPU speed).
Hardware support for Linux (and other operating systems) on mobile devices is sometimes more limited (e.g. graphics chips, internal modems). They often use specialized hardware, hence finding a driver can be more difficult. Many times they are used in changing environments, so there is a need for multiple configurations and additional security strategies.
The Linux-Mobile-Guide explains installation methods for laptops and PDAs and configurations for different (network) environments, security issues for portable computers and much more. TuxMobil is the origin of the Linux-Mobile-Guide and provides always the latest issue available for download.
Enhancements:
- A link to keytouch has been made in the Extra Keys section.

PXES project is a micro Linux thin client distribution. PXES will boot a real thin client or will help to convert in minutes any compliant hardware (see list bellow) into a versatile thin client.
They will be capable of accessing any XDM server presenting the graphical login screen or any Microsoft Terminal Server through RDP protocol. The actual configuration of clients is made with an easy to use graphical configuration tool, allowing the specification of clients parameters or the server to access to.
You can recover hardware that is useless running current desktop OS or office package and give it a second chance. This thin client boots from the network with PXE (Intel Pre-Execution Environment specifications) so neither boot diskette nor boot eprom is needed.
The linux kernel and an initial root filesystem is transmitted over the network (the compressed size as of version 0.4 is about 4M).
Main features:
Supported servers and protocols
- Unix/Linux supporting XDM
- Microsoft Terminal Server using RDP
- Citrix using ICA
- VNC using TightVNC
- LOCAL local graphical session with simple desktop
- LTSP or K12LTSP
- IBM Host using 3270 or 5250 emulation (soon)
- Telnet emulating ANSI terminal
- SSH
- Tarantella using proprietary protocol
- NoMachine using NX
- Thinlinc
Boot methods
- PXE network card included in most modern PC hardware
- Etherboot to boot from diskette or EPROM
- CD-ROM
- Hard disk
- DOC DiskOnChip and DOM DiskOnModule
- USB Storage
- For Hard Disk, DOC, DOM or other flash memory installation you may also use PXES HD/DOM Installer (http://pxes.sourceforge.net/enterprise/install-dom.shtml) which is part of Enterprise Edition (http://pxes.sourceforge.net/enterprise/index.php).
- You can also see the detailed information about Boot Methods.
Hardware requirements
- Processor: x86 architecture (i486, i586, i686, VIA C3, Geode, Vortex86, Transmeta Crusoe, etc.)
- BUS: PCI recommended (although ISA works)
- RAM: 32 Mb recommended (16 Mb minimum)
- NIC: see supported network card list
- Video: see supported video card list
Local devices
- Diskette
- Hard disk
- CD-ROM
- Printers parallel, serial and USB
- Serial devices (bar code reader, etc.)
- Audio
- Flash memory / USB storage
Supported operating system
- Linux
- Solaris
- AIX
- SCO
- BSD
- HP-UX
- Microsoft Windows NT4
- Microsoft Windows 2000
- Microsoft Windows 2003
- Microsoft Windows XP
Enhancements:
- Support for different boot loaders was added.
- Support for GRUB on ISO images was added.
- A correction was made in the kernel and image path in isolinux.
- A message telling the user to run "pxesconfig --updatefstab" was added.
- updatefstab was added in post.
- Support for 2.4.32 and 2.6.15 kernels was added.
- Automated owner and permission changing on specific files was added, so now the whole pxes-base tree can be checked out as a normal user.
