Pocket Linux is an almost minimal, one floppy linux system designed to quickly convert PC workstation into secure linux-based workstation using ssh to connect to remote host (other networking clients are also supported).
It supports bootp for determining host IP and other network parameters (theres also manual configuration possible, but bootp is recommended).
In addition to workstations equipped with a network card (ethernet or arcnet), you can also use Pocket Linux on a PC equipped with a modem. Modem is automatically detected and then PPP connection is made.
The idea came up some time in 1996 or so. The distribution then was not perfect, but still it shown it was a great idea. It wasnt maintained for about year or so, until I took it up again in the early January 1998. After a complete rebuild Pocket Linux 2.00 was released. It soon gained a huge number of happy users, whose ideas helped its development.
The aim is to provide a small and efficient workstation that autoconfigures as much as possible and lets securely use the network from almost everywhere.
Current version is a nice attempt and future ones will enhance the automation and support for various network equipment and protocols, becoming a total solution. Future plans also include side projects like one floppy router.
In order to understand some of the config options its useful to know something about operations that are done during bootup (in order to automatically configure the network). These are, in order (the later attempts are made if the earlier ones dont set-up the network):
- attempt to setup the network using BOOTP
- attempt to reuse previous manual configuration
- modem detection
- attempt to setup modem conection
Most of the config options switches these operations on and off.
Main menu
You can choose the following network configuration commands from the main menu (only the ones that make sense in the present context are displayed):
- Options - allows setting few binary parameters controlling automatic network configuration and modem handling.
- BOOTP query - attempts to configure network (ethernet or arcnet) using BOOTP. Normally its automatically done during bootup, but this can be switched off.
- Manual configuration - allows manual setting of network configuration parameters (ethernet or arcnet).
- Detect modem - detects serial port the modem is on and its parameters (transfer rate, initialization commands).
- Dial PPP using predefined configuration - creates modem connection (PPP) using one of (up to ten) remembered configurations. By default only TPSA (0202122) configuration is remembered.
- Dial PPP using new configuration - creates new PPP configuration and sets up a modem connection using the newly created config.
- Disconnect PPP - disconnects modem connection.
- Mount /usr via NFS - mounts remote /usr filesystem via NFS. It will be automatically mounted during each Pocket Linux bootup if its turned on in configuration options.
- Exit - Do not config the network - exits the program without configuring the network.
Configuration options
There are following options available:
- Probe network with BOOTP - switches automatic BOOTP probing during bootup on and off. On by default.
- Reuse manual network configs - if on, an attempt is made to restore network configuration during bootup. Netconf remembers 10 most recent manual configurations along with network cards MAC addresses. If cards MAC address matches one of the remembered ones, assigned configuration is used. On by default.
- Automatically setup PPP - switches automatic attempt to create modem connection during bootup on and off. Its made with the first config on PPP configs list. On by default.
- Reuse modem configuration - if on, modem detection is not performed during bootup - instead most recently used modem configuration is used. Off by default.
- Pulse dialing - switches dialing mode used for modem connections between tone dialing (DTMF) and pulse dialing. Default is off (that is tone dialing).
- Automount disk partitions - switches on and off automatical disk partitions mounting (ext2 and vfat filesystems) and swap partition activation during bootup. On by default.
- Add swap file if low memory - switches on and off automatical swap file creation during bootup. Swap file is created if, and only if, theres less than 16 MB memory available (including potentially activated swap partitions) and theres a disk partition on which it could be created available. On by default.
- Automount NFS /usr - switches on and off /usr filestem mounting via NFS during bootup. NFS path to the filestem must be set using "Mount /usr filesystem via NFS" command in main menu. Off by default.
Manual network card configuration
You can enter network configuration parameters in this window:
- This machines IP - enter IP number for this computer here
- Network mask - enter netmask here. If omitted, mask will be calculated based on IP (which will not necessarily be right).
- Broadcast address - enter network broadcast address here. If omitted broadcast address will be calculated based on IP (not mask! - which will not necessarily be right).
- Default gateway - enter IP address of default network gateway (router) here.
- Nameserver IP(s) - enter one or more (separated by spaces) name servers IP addresses here. Can be omitted, but then domain names couldnt be used.
- Default domain(s) - you can enter one or more (separated by spaces) domain names to search host if incomplete domain names will be used. Its optional.
PPP configuration
You can enter modem connection configuration parameters in this window:
- Config name - config name (used in existing configuration selection menu).
- Phone number - phone number to dial (eg. 0w202122 for TPSA access modems).
- Username - username to send to remote server
- Password - password to send to remote server
- Nameserver IP(s) - enter one or more (separated by spaces) name servers IP addresses here. Can be omitted, but then domain names couldnt be used.
- Default domain(s) - you can enter one or more (separated by spaces) domain names to search host if incomplete domain names will be used. Its optional.
Because of permanent configuration that is kept on the floppy you should remember to:
- dont write protect the floppy
- dont remove the floppy from the drive (at least during network configuration)
Enhancements:
- bugfixes in netconf reuse code
- disk partitions automounting, swap partitions autoactivating
- automatic swap file creation
- extended support for NFS mountable /usr
- PS/2 mouse support
- new startup logo

ThinTUX is a small Linux distribution for thin clients. It has support for all major remote access protocols like ICA, RDP, XDM, telnet, ssh, and more.

The configuration is stored on a DHCP server to simplify terminal management.
Main features:
- Automatic hardware discovery and centralized configuration using DHCP
- Single point of administration
- Small footprint
- Fully self-contained
- No NFS mounted root filesystem
- Web based configuration tool
- One boot image fits all computers
- No previous Linux knowledge required
Enhancements:
- Reduced startup time.
- Reduced RAM footprint.
- Added support for glibc programs.
- Updated kernel
- Updated to rdesktop 1.4.1
- Updated the configuration tool(ThinTUX web tool).
- Renamed configuration variables

libfilo is a small portable library to do userspace file locking, like fcntl(), lockf() or flock(), but within threads.
If you want multiple threads to access a file simultaneously, you will probably need some kind of locking to avoid them stepping on each other and corrupting everything. Currently, there is no standard way of doing this:
- fcntl() ignores threads, and only works between processes.
- flock() is not really standard and doesnt work well over NFS.
- lockf(), while it is documented in POSIX, its often implemented using fcntl() so its also useless.
So this library allows you to do read/write file locking with byte granularity and fcntl-like semantics, within threads. Its written in C, in about 600 lines of code, and has no dependencies on external libraries.
Its based on the traditional POSIX API and follows the Single UNIX Specification, so it should be portable to all major UNIX variants without problems; however its developed under Linux, so please let me know if you try it somewhere else.

Tao Linux (pronounced dow 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:
- Includes gcj-compiled Eclipse IDE
- Includes clustering tools
- Yum with protectbase patch for safer use of 3rd-party repos
- Supports ACLs in ext3, nfs and Samba
- 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 into 2008

HA/FST is a high availability clustering tool for up to four Solaris nodes. HA/FST project supports any application that can be managed from the command line.
HA/FST works similar to other HA tools. Heartbeats sent across a private network are monitored. If these heartbeats fail and subsequent checks across the public network fail then a failover can occur.
Additionally, each application is monitored at configurable intervals for soundness. Application failovers can trigger a restart or a failover.
HA/FST comes pre-equipped to support:
- Up to 4 nodes in cluster
- Application Fallback to Preferred Node
- Application Failover to a Preferred Node
- Remote Node Application Monitoring
- Event Notifications
- Network Interface Failover
- Apache
- NFS
- Oracle
- Samba
Enhancements:
Bug Fixes:
- Syntax error parsing -t option of fstmodapp prevented proper creation of application agents.

OBPkg is a GTK2+ based frontend for the OpenBSD ports/package system. It is like Ubuntus synaptic.
OBPkg program supports local ports and packages, as well as packages located on FTP servers. It also supports universe packages (unofficial packages produced by other people).
OBPkg is easy to use. You can setup your configuration in the config file /etc/obpkg.conf. You specify all package sources in this file.
- To use an local directory (e.g. from your OpenBSD CD-ROM or NFS), use the pkg_local keyword followed by the path. For Example:
pkg_local=/mnt/cdrom/packages
- To mount a FTP directory use official_pkg_ftp for official package mirrors and universe_pkg_ftp for inofficial package mirrors. The syntax is keyword=Host,Path,Username,Password
For example, if you want to add the OpenBSD-3.9 packages for i386, use:
official_pkg_ftp=ftp.openbsd.org,/pub/OpenBSD/3.9/packages/i386,ftp,nobody
Here is another example:
universe_pkg_ftp=my.great.server.dyndns.org,/pkg,ftp,ftp
NOTE: This release does not support login+password for the package adding. It only supports downloading packages with user+password. But since pkg_add does not support authentication, the adding does not work and I still work on the additional code.
