Linux Commander is a powerful file manager for the X Window System.

It is partially modelled after Window Commander for Windows.

Zenwalk Linux (formerly Minislack) is a Slackware-based Linux distribution with focus on Internet applications, multimedia and programming tools.
ZenLive Linux LiveCD is a complete system with software for Internet browsing, mail, chat, multimedia and office, as well as for programming in C, Perl, Python and Ruby.
The main objectives of Zenwalk Linux are to be simple and fast, provide one application per task, be a complete development and desktop environment and to be small enough to fit on a 400MB ISO image.
Enhancements:
- ZenLive 4.2 is based on Zenwalk Linux version 4.2 and compliments the speed and stability youve come to expect from Zenwalk. Some of the new features include Zenpanel which is Zenwalks new system configuration panel that makes customizing your Linux system easy. Desktop enhancements include a new panel layout and RSS feed reader that were added to Xfce among other nice enhancements, such as the original Tango-derived icon theme. Howl has been replaced with the more modern and supported Avahi Zeroconf subsystem. Fam has been replaced with Gamin resulting in noticeable speed increases to file and directory monitoring.

Damn Small Linux Not is built on Damn Small Linux technology. Damn Small Linux Not is also small, bigger than DSL but smaller than most. Damn Small Linux Not provides a reliable, and compact array of applications based mostly on the GTK2 libraries.
DSL-N is not an evolution of DSL, it is not intended as progress over the philosophy of DSL, but is intended for a different user, or the same user under different circumstances.
Main features:
- it is small
- it has software which is feature full
- it takes advantage of redundant lib dependencies and suits to pack features into a tight distribution
- DSL-N has a modern kernel and does not squeeze out critical modules that would limit compatibility
Like DSL, DSL-n can:
- Boot from from a CD as a live Linux distribution (LiveCD)
- Boot from a USB pen drive
- Boot from within a host operating system (thats right, it can run *inside* Windows)
- Run very nicely from an IDE Compact Flash drive via a method we call "frugal install"
- Transform into a Debian OS with a traditional hard drive install
- Run fully in RAM
- Modularly grow -- DSL-N is highly extendable without the need to customize
- The applications in DSL-N were chosen because they are functional, usable, and relatively compact. Unlike DSL, DSL-N has GTK2 applications, that means DSL-N will need more ram and CPU cycles than DSL. To have a pleasant experience, we recommend at least 64MBs and 300MHz.
DSL-N, unlike DSL, does not have a hard size cap, but it is being developed by the DSL team, and we hate bloat! So, dont expect DSL-N to get too big.
Why are you making this offshoot of DSL when DSL is so successful? Because a 50MB, GTK2 based distribution, with a 2.6.x kernel and excellent hardware detection/support is a contradiction in terms. DSL-N represents our best effort to stay compact while providing for the needs of those who want the Bling Bling such as SATA support, Gnumeric, Abiword, gMplayer.
Enhancements:
- Added "noprompt noeject" to default boot options for frugal installs.
- Fixed madwifi wireless.
- Fixed chpasswd vs passwd. "secure" boot option now works correctly.
- Added gnu-utils into the base iso.
- Fixed USB2 not loading bug
- Improved mydsl=hdxy when specified to not also search this makes it consistent with restore boot option.
- Enhanced exitcheck to prompt warning if no backup device is selected when requested to save special settings.
- Fixed multi user hard drive install bug.
- Added murgaLua Lua/Fltk development toolkit.

Nexedi Desktop Linux Server (DLS) is a LiveCD which instantly provides 500+ Linux Desktop applications to all PCs in a Local Area Network (LAN).

It is compatible with Windows, MacOS, Unix or GNU/Linux environments as well as with eBox thin clients. Nexedi DLS also includes a complete network infrastructure solution (file server, mail server, collaboration server, directory service, etc.) based on modern protocols (ex. LDAP, Samba 3, IMAP, etc.).

Nexedi DLS Live CD allows small and medium size organisations to implement a high end Linux desktop and network infrastructure solution in one minute.

Nexedi DLS is a LiveCD: it requires no installation. Simply insert the LiveCD in any PC, turn on the PC and choose the boot from CD option.

After about one minute, a complete Mandrakelinux server is ready to serve thin clients and provide file sharing, directory, messaging and collaboration services to your entire network. Enter your network information through a simple web based interface.

You can now access all Nexedi Desktop Linux Server features from any other PC in the same local network.

Nexedi DLS LiveCD can be used from any standard PC based on x86 architecture (Pentium, Athlon, Opteron, etc.). 512 MB RAM is recommended to serve a few users. 1024 MB and a fast CPU (Pentium IV, Pentium M, Athlon, Opteron, etc.) is recommended to server 10 simultaneous users.

Applications:

Nexedi DLS applications are multiple. Some applications are based on DLS acting as a complement to existing infrastructure. Other applications are based on DLS acting as a replacement to existing infrastructure.

* Office and Productivity:many Mandrakelinux applications can be very useful as a complement to existing Windows or Macintosh environments. Installing a single DLS server allows in a network allows everyone to access those applications without requiring any complex software installation or setup.
* Internet Security:by placing a DLS server in the DMZ of an organisation, it is possible to protect all PCs in a local network from viruses or spyware. Internet applications are launched on the DLS server and accessed by users through tightVNC from Windows or Macintosh PCs. Internet attacks might compromise the DLS server but will not be able to access sensitive data on users PCs. This architecture is similar to having two physical networks, one for internal uses, one for internet access, but at a much lower cost.
* Software Development Box:a single DLS server can be used as a shared multi-platform software development by Windows or Macintosh users. Mandrakelinux includes many advanced integrated development environments (IDE) which can be used to produce GUI, Web or embedded applications.
* Network Administration Box:a single DLS server can be used as a shared network administration environment. Mandrakelinux includes many advanced and free network administration tools.
* Thin Client Server:Nexedi DLS is a multi-protocol thin client server and gateway. A typical DLS server can handle 10 simultaneous sessions. Thin clients can use the VNC, tightVNC or XDMCP protocols to access a complete desktop session. Any DLS session can access other thin client protocols (RDP, X11, NX, etc.). Nexedi DLS also includes various emulators and virtualizers which allow to run Windows and Macintosh applications directly.
