Free slackware linux 11.0 software for linux

Splack Linux is Slackware for Sparc.

Splack supports all Sun4c, Sun4d, and Sun4m hardware.

Most Sun4U (Ultrasparc) machines are supported, but the more modern SunBlade and SunFire systems are not supported in the 2.2.20 kernel.

As a workaround you may be able to move the boot disk to a supported UltraSparc machine, install Splack 8.0, upgrade to Splack-current, and build a 2.4.27 or later kernel.

Sun4m SMP requires kernel 2.4.27 or later. Sun4d SMP requires 2.4.27 plus patches, the patches should be included in 2.4.28. Sun4d SMP will not work with serial console: install a framebuffer, monitor, and keyboard.

Rubix is a Linux distribution forked from Slackware Linux.
It differs from its parent in that Rubix uses Arch Linuxs pacman for simplified package management with dependency resolution and it has a completely revamped init system, maintaining the BSD style, but adding modularity.
What is Rubix?
- It is a new Linux distribution that is something of a fork of Slackware 10.1.
- It will branch off in its own direction very quickly, in many ways, it already has.
- It maintains the Slackware traditions of Simplicity, Security and Stability.
- It will run on all i486 hardware and newer and is optimized for i686.
- It is designed to support mission critical hardware and be very admin friendly.
- It is a great distribution for knowledgable *NIX users!
- If you know Slackware, you will do great in Rubix!
How is Rubix different from Slackware?
- Rubix uses Arch Linuxs pacman for simplified package management with dependency resolution.
- Rubix has completely revamped the init system, maintaining the BSD style, but adding modularity.
- Rubix uses gcc 3.4.1 and compiles most packages with SSP (aka: ProPolice), and PIE (Position Independant Executable) wherever possible, but will never patch software just to make it compile with SSP andor PIE. This means that Rubix should not be thought of as a hardened distribution as many packages can not be compiled with SSP, however, it does mean that Rubix is harder than most. This logic makes most software more secure and does not require downstream patching for compatability, a major goal of Rubix.
Enhancements:
- This is the inaugural release of the Rubix Linux operating system. Rubix Linux is distributed with the Linux kernel versions 2.6.15.5, 2.4.32 and 2.4.32-grsec. Rubix Linux is well equipped to serve in both desktop and server roles. Rubix has exceptional hardware detection with udev replacing hotplug for 2.6 kernels and the latest KDE desktop version 3.5.1. Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.1 and Thunderbird 1.5 are now the default web browser and email client. Rubix Linux also supports the best modern filesystems including ext2, ext3, JFS, XFS, ReiserFS and now Reiser4 (with 2.6 kernels) from installation.

SlackIns is a complete Qt-based Gui with the design goals to provide a complete Pkgtool interface for Users in order to install, remove and upgrade tgz packages for SlackWare Linux OS.

Hardened Linux is a hardened distribution based on a minimalized Slackware Linux 11.0.
This distribution is still under heavy development.
Hardened Linux (a.k.a. "Wendzel Linux") is a security distribution with 3 main targets:
- maximum security
- maximum stability
- maximum usuability
It is optimized to run on as firewall system, vpn gateway, IDS system and authentication system. Currently not all of these features are fully implemented.
Enhancements:
- This just an updated version of the 1.6.6-snapshot release. This release includes our current packages (gcc-4.2, glibc-2.5, kernel 2.6.21.3 and different other package updates). Nothing else has changed. We released this new version because it will still take a few weeks (if not months) before we can release the next snapshot version that includes a completely new package system and a completely new installer system. Please report any kind of bugs.

Sflack Linux is based on Slackware Linux disrtibuition. Sflack Linux is a UNOFFICIAL port of Slackware to the x86_64 architecture. This means is:
- It runs nicer on an amd64;
- It is *not* called Slackware, or any direct derivative;
Do not bug Patrick Volkerding with bug reports. Sflack is not his responsibility.
Sflack isnt a multi-lib distribution, which means that you cannot run 32-bit applications easily.
The Official Release of Sflack Linux by Vincenzo Ingrosso would want to be an advanced Linux operating system, designed with the twin goals of ease of use and stability as top priorities. Including the latest popular software while retaining a sense of tradition, providing simplicity and ease of use alongside flexibility and power, Sflack brings the best of all worlds to the table.
Originally developed by Linus Torvalds in 1991, the UNIX-like Linux operating system now benefits from the contributions of millions of users and developers around the world. Sflack Linux provides new and experienced users alike with a fully-featured system, equipped to serve in any capacity from desktop workstation to machine-room server. Web, ftp, and email servers are ready to go out of the box, as are a wide selection of popular desktop environments. A full range of development tools, editors, and current libraries is included for users who wish to develop or compile additional software.
