Puppy Linux 4.2.1
Puppy Linux provides you with a perfect and very useful evolutionary operating system which is based on GNU Linux. more>>
Puppy Linux 4.2.1 provides you with a perfect and very useful evolutionary operating system which is based on GNU Linux. Whats different here is that Puppy is extraordinarily small, yet quite full featured. Puppy Linux can boot into a 64MB ramdisk, and that's it, the whole caboodle runs in RAM. Unlike live CD distributions that have to keep pulling stuff off the CD, Puppy in its entirety loads into RAM. This means that all applications start in the blink of an eye and respond to user input instantly.
Major Features:
- Puppy Linux has the ability to boot off a flash card or any USB memory device (flash-Puppy), CDROM (live-Puppy), Zip disk or LS/120/240 Superdisk (zippy-Puppy), floppy disks (floppy-Puppy), internal hard drive (hard-Puppy).
- Puppy occupies about 50-60M on my USB Flash drive, CDROM, or whatever is the storage media.
- When Puppy boots, everything uncompressed into a RAM area that we call a "ramdisk". The live-CD will bootup on systems with only 32M RAM, but the more RAM you have the more Puppy is able to keep files permanently in ramdisk hence more speed. A PC with 128M RAM is the recommended minimum.
- Note that Puppy will automatically use a swap partition if it exists. When booting from a USB Flash device, Puppy tries to load all the Flash files into physical RAM, but if there is not enough RAM then Puppy is able to copy the excess to a swap partition if it exists. This eliminates writes to the Flash memory during a session, greatly extending its life span.
- You may need to have a swap partition to run Firefox or Mozilla on PCs with less than 64M RAM. Certainly, for a PC with only 32M RAM, a swap partition is necessary to run most of the large GUI applications.
Enhancements:
- CUPS-1.3.10 regressed from 1.4b2 to resolve ongoing issues with CUPS printing.
- Fixed printing from Geany, Leafpad and Gnumeric using CUPS-1.3.10
- Abiword-2.6.3 with 2.6.6 plugins has been patched for improved .doc & .docx support (Liberation ttf fonts required for some documents)
- Pwidgets updated to 2.0.8
- Pcrypt updated to 17 May 2009 release and now requires Ccrypt to function. Bcrypt has been dropped in consequence.
- Ccrypt-1.7 added as dependency for Pcrypt
- MIME-types updated in Rox-2.6.1
- Patches for gtk+ Xinput and b43 broadcom network driver
- Pmusic updated to 0.6.4
- Pschedule updated to 0.7
- Plus previously issued patches for nbtscan, mountcifs, jwm-tray, xsane, network wizard (now at April 4 release), mtpaint-snapshot, gtk+2.12.1-Xinput-fix and pcp (Puppy control panel).

Fedora Linux Core 4
Fedora - Linux operating system built from open source software more>>
The goal of The Fedora Project is to work with the Linux community to build a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively from open source software. Development will be done in a public forum.
The project will produce time-based releases of Fedora Core about 2-3 times a year, with a public release schedule.
The Red Hat engineering team will continue to participate in building Fedora Core and will invite and encourage more outside participation than in past releases.
By using this more open process, we hope to provide an operating system more in line with the ideals of free software and more appealing to the open source community.
Main features:
- Support for the PowerPC (PPC) architecture.
- GCC 4.0
- GNOME 2.10
- KDE 3.4 includes new accessibility features. You can manage these new features in KDS Control CenterRegional & AccessibilityAccessibility.
- Native Eclipse 3.1M6 (part of a free Java stack)
- MySQL 4.1
- PHP 5.0
- Xen 2 (virtualization to run multiple versions of an OS)
- GFS 6.1-0.pre22 (cluster file system)
- Evince 0.2.1 (universal document viewer)
- GDM 2.6 - Includes early login capability
- SELinux This release includes coverage for 80 new daemons by the targeted policy. There are changes to the handling of Booleans. The targeted policy is enabled by default.

Linux Firewall 2.0
Linux Firewall is a robust, well-designed firewall for Linux 2.4 based on netfilter/iptables. more>>
Here are some installation tips:
1. Download the latest rc.firewall [wget http://projectfiles.com/firewall/rc.firewall]
2. Edit the options at the beginning of the file with your favorite text editor. The script comes pre-configured to deny all incoming connections. This is suitable for a typical workstation installation. Refer to the configuration page for in depth explanation of available options.
3. Make the script executable [chmod +x ./rc.firewall]
4. Become root [su]
5. Run the script [./rc.firewall]
6. After you verify that the firewall runs without errors, you may want it to be run automatically on boot. To accomplish this, move the script to the appropriate startup script directory for your distribution [/etc/rc.d/ for Slackware, /etc/init.d/ for Gentoo] and add the following lines in your startup scripts at some point after your ethernet interfaces are configured [for example /etc/rc.d/rc.local for Slackware, and /etc/conf.d/local.start for Gentoo].
Slackware
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall ]; then
/etc/rc.d/rc.firewall
fi
Gentoo
if [ -x /etc/init.d/rc.firewall ]; then
/etc/init.d/rc.firewall
fi
See forum for alternate installation methods.
7. If you are using this firewall on a machine to which you do not have physical access, but can reboot remotely (for example a collocated server or a Linux router at a computer illiterate friends house), you might want to think about putting in a short delay between the time the machine boots and the initialization of the firewall. This would give you a chance to log in and disable the firewall [chmod -x] if something goes wrong. A good example might be if you have the script configured to allow you to connect from a specific remote IP address and your address changes. If you choose to implement this idea, it can be done with the following code in rc.local:
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall ]; then
sleep 30 && /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall | logger -t rc.firewall &
echo "Firewall init in 30 seconds. Check syslog for results."
fi
