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.

- MIME-types updated in Rox-2.6.1
- Patches for gtk+ Xinput and b43 broadcom network driver
- Pmusic updated to 0.6.4

Linux Mobile System 1.0
Linux Mobile System (LMS) is a full Linux system whose support is the new USB Flash Memory Drives. more>>
This project arose with the intention to study the Linux system of exhaustive way and simultaneously enjoy with it. The initial idea is to fuse two separated disciplines: the programming and the systems management. So well center our study in the denominated "system programming, as much networking level as at device level (drivers).
Main features:
- To initiate our Linux system from memories flash USB.
- The system will be a selection of common GNU tools in every system: disk diagnosis, memory, hardware, networks monitoring tools, etc.
- LMS Tux
- As far as possible well develop new tools and/or utilities with the objective to study deeply the underlying technology.
- The programming languages used will be C, C++, Python and Perl, without forget the system shell scripts.
- The resources minimization (disk space, memory...) isnt a functional objective of the developments.
LMSs main aim is to achieve a highly specialized distribution of GNU/Linux which can carried through the USB Flash Memory Drives. Once the distribution is ready in the USB device, it can be carried in your own pocket and you can start up any PC x86 with no need to install it directly in the PC.
The LMS system is aimed at the development of specific tasks such as network administration, security analysis of networks, and recovery and repair of host data, as well as all information exchange, which is what makes it different from other portable systems such as "live CDs". The main idea is to carry all the potency of Linux and our tools in our own pockets, ready to be used.
Linux trustees 3.0
Linux trustees is an advanced file permission system for Linux more>>
Special objects (called trustees) can be bound to every file or directory. The trustee object can be used to ensure that access to a file, directory, or directory with subdirectories is granted (or denied) to a certain user or group (or all except user or group).
Trustees are like POSIX ACLs, but trustee objects can affect entire subdirectory trees, while ACLs a single file. Trustees works with the 2.6 Linux kernel.

JaCL Linux 0.2005-07-11 beta1
JaCL Linux (Just a Command Line Linux) is a live CD distribution (a Knoppix remaster) of the Linux operating system. more>>
Most major command line applications or server software available in a standard Linux distribution are available in JaCL Linux. Most X11 server software and applications have been intentionally removed from the distribution in order to streamline the
distribution for use as a server or utility system.
Examples of server or utility uses for JaCL include: web server, ftp server, DNS server, SMB server, rsync server, syslog server, local disk mirroring utility, remote rsync disk mirroring utility or hardware diagnostics utility.
The removal of the X server and X applications streamlines the distribution, reduces maintenance, and may reduce the risk of vulnerabilities.
Additionally other applications have been intentionally removed or omitted from the distribution, including applications which may pose a security risk if the server is user level compromised (i.e. network scanning utilities and packet sniffing tools).
The result is a full command line live CD distribution which is about half the size of a full Knoppix CD distribution.
Main features:
- an easily upgradable system
- a password protected system by default
- security warning banners (a requirement in some work environments)
- a security hardened base system
- an easy mechanism for systems administrators to automatically configure the system at bootup
- most server and utility applications included (the fact that Knoppix<<less
