Free live software for linux

DCC/Live is a Knoppix based bootable CD-ROM which provides a virtual DCC cluster.

The virtual cluster consists of one master-node (node0), and three virtual work-nodes running on User Mode Linux (node1, node2, node3).

DSS also know as Debased Scripts Set project is dedicated to providing you with a "System Development Environment" to create your own DEbian BASED Live Linux System.
Normally youre stuck with the type and amount of applications the creator decided to include, now you can customize the system to fit your needs, by generating on-the-fly compressed modules (layers) including additional software .
The idea is to dont "debase" the Default Debian System, for this pourpose has been designed the USS (The Upstream Salmon Struct).
In this way youll have a knoppix like HW autodetection and autoconfiguration flavor without affecting the standard system.
DSS can be used to:
- create your own live distribution
- put together a demo disk to show off the power of our favourite OS
- build a portable system to install on external USB/FIREWIRE HD and boot it up.
- backup you system and run it from a CD/DVD
- build a morphix base module

AFROS Live CD is a bootable CD with a small collection of GNU/Linux software, ARAnyM and the AFROS. AFROS Live CD boots and runs completely from CD, does not write anything to the harddrive and so is safe to try out. It is meant as a demo version of ARAnyM/AFROS. It is not the dreamed Installation CD of ARAnyM yet (although it could be modified to work so).

The underlying Linux kernel and related software provide the CD autoboot, automatic hardware detection, and support for many graphics cards, sound cards, SCSI and USB devices and other peripherals. ARAnyM plus AFROS provide our familiar and favourite TOS/FreeMiNT/GEM operating environment. Its all integrated seamlessly and after PowerOn boots straight to the Teradesk (GEM desktop).

AFROS Live CD is distributed in the form of a CD ISO image which is the usual way of distributing CDs electronically. The ISO image file can be burnt on a CD-R/RW and so youll get an exact copy of the AFROS Live CD I created on my machine.

AFROS Live CD configuration:

fVDI resolution and/or color depth change: open up the C:FVDI.SYS (double click it and select Edit), locate the "01r aranym.sys mode 800x600x16@72" line, comment it out and uncomment one of the other prepared lines (or just make up your own). Then reboot the AFROS.

The ARAnyM Config GUI is unfinished yet so changes to ARAnyM config must be done outside of ARAnyM in the .aranym/config file. When you quit ARAnyM you should be able to edit the file with one of the supplied GNU/Linux editors (in the future this shouldnt be necessary as I am working on the Config GUI as you read this).

DSL site (AFROS Live CD is based on the DSL) might give you some hints about preserving the changes youve made to the AFROS disk image or ARAnyM configuration (you might also want to read File Restoration -> HowTo in the X11 desktop). Note that this is untested by me and might be dangerous. Try it on your own risk only.

Live Loops is a audio looping software for live music production. You need to have allegro library installed to compile/run this:
Download the latest Work in Progress version from here: http://sunsite.dk/allegro/wip.html

NOTICE: This program wont run unless you create a sub-directory where you are executing it called samples with all of your samples in it (wav format).

This program will attempt to run in a window. If that fails it will attempt to use framebuffer (under linux).

Essentially i wrote this for my own purposes and i wanted a very simple way of putting loops together, and outputting them through existing soundcard hardware into an external mixer.

To do in the following versions:

1) put in some code to send a pulse to the parallel port to control the timing of my Commodore64 computer (running custom music software found on this server in /dev/aSid/current/) This functionality was present in v0.1 before I ported to linux.

2) Put in some audio-input functionality so that a user could record a bar of say, guitar, and that bar would be looped over whilst they played other stuff over the top. Nice for making very live sounding looped music. Sort of like a delay pedal.

Tao Linux is a project to build a free Linux distribution from the sources used in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux product line.
The target market is either experienced system administrators who would like freely available binaries of this code, or end users who are interested in experimenting with enterprise functionality.
Besides being mostly compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, it also includes software packages such as Eclipse and clustering tools not found in the base RHEL products.
Main features:
- Yum used for updates
- Based on commercially produced Enterprise sources
- Many packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux also run on Tao Linux
- Free as in speech and beer
- Security updates (in SRPM form, at least) available for seven years.
