1060 NetKernel is a resource oriented microkernel and application server that provides a coherent execution abstraction that radically reduces software complexity. Its self-consistent design is based on the convergence and unification of powerful fundamental concepts found in the World Wide Web and Unix.
Resource Oriented Microkernel
The heart of NetKernel is a high-performance, carefully designed, and tightly crafted microkernel. Services and resources within NetKernel are located by URI addresses, just as resources are located on the World Wide Web. NetKernel implements and extends REST 1 into a general-purpose processing abstraction and allows it to be applied to the finest granularity of software systems to achieve phenominal performance; just as the REST Web-architecture achieves global scaling and high performance.
Coherent Abstraction
NetKernel unifies code execution and resource identification into a single addressing and processing abstraction. With this, software development becomes a process of construction (coding services), composition (linking and issuing service and resource requests), and constraint (restricting data values and honoring boundaries).
The simplicity of URI identified resources means that the results of service calls can be cached just as other resources, resulting in self-optimizing software where computation cost is a guaranteed minima.
Reduce Software Complexity
The unification of resources and services with URI addressing radically reduces sofware complexity. Because resources are addressed by URI and each request is a Web-like REST request dispatched to the microkernel, binding between clients and services occurs dynamically for each request. This late binding and the indirection of logical URI addressing results in a loosely coupled system which may be easily adapted. In fact, NetKernel supports dynamic upgrading of software and can support multiple versions of the same components simultaneously.
Complexity brought about by system growth is also managed through the URI address space which may be remodelled and extended indefinitely. A complex aggregation of services may always be abstracted into one or more higher-level services surfaced through URI interfaces.
Main features:
Manage Complexity
- NetKernels unification of resource and service addressing through the active URI scheme combined with late binding and loose typing means that complex systems can be partitioned not just into smaller coorperating systems, you can now create micro-services that hide complexity.
- With NetKernel, design and build larger and more ambitious systems while maintaining control of complexity.
Process XML with ease!
- Processing XML is often just too difficult. But the potential of XML is communication with almost no limit. How to harness and leverage the potential of XML? NetKernel provides hundreds of XML technologies as simple services (no APIs). Simply compose XML services into powerful message processes...
Integrate diverse technologies, apply business logic
- NetKernels uniform URI addressing of resources and service allow you to encapsulate and hide the complexities of any technology, whether it is a Java API, legacy code, or remote corporate systems. Once encapsulated, develop new coordination logic in one of NetKernels scripting languages.
Transport technology independence
- Write a service or application and deploy it to service requests from multiple transports concurrently. NetKernel makes it easy to utilize SOAP 1.1, SOAP 1.2, HTTP, JMS, Email, and Cron.
Extreme performance from intra-application caching
- NetKernels fine-grained dependency cache transparently and opportunistically caches the results of all micro-service requests. NetKernel processes are self-optimizing with guaranteed minimal processing required for a given transaction.
Team Player
- NetKernel has several deployment options that allow it to play well with other technologies and systems. Deploy NetKernel as an advanced standalone application server, as an embedded "co-processor" within existing J2EE applications, as a JMS message processor, as a SOAP client or server, or as an embedded component within any application.

SLAX Frodo edition is the console base for all other SLAX releases. SLAX Frodo Edition doesnt contain almost anything, only full working Linux command prompt and drivers.
Some people prefer modified versions of SLAX, designed to provide some extra functionality. Even if SLAX is modular and allows people to extend it easily, Im releasing these special modifications to help beginners use.
SLAX is a small bootable CD containing the Linux operating system. It runs Linux directly from the CD (or USB) without installing.
The Live CD described here is based on the Slackware Linux distribution and is downloadable from this website as an ISO image. All scripts and source code are available and can be used to build your own Live CD.
Enhancements:
- added KDE 3.5.4 with Slackware 11 fixes for media:/ URL in konqueror
- probeusb parameter now sleeps delay_use+1 seconds to wait for USB devices
- (this usually defaults to 6 seconds)
- fixed fuse libraries, which were missing in rc1 version

Ubuntu Christian Edition is a free, open source operating system geared towards Christians. Ubuntu Christian Edition is based on the popular Ubuntu Linux. Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support.
The goal of Ubuntu Christian Edition is to bring the power and security of Ubuntu to Christians. Ubuntu Christian Edition is suitable for both desktop and server use. The current Ubuntu release supports PC (Intel x86).
Ubuntu Christian Edition includes more than 16,000 pieces of software, but the core desktop installation fits on a single CD. Ubuntu Christian Edition covers every standard desktop application from word processing and spreadsheet applications to web server software and programming tools.
Along with the standard Ubuntu applications, Ubuntu Christian Edition includes the best available Christian software. The latest release contains GnomeSword, a top of the line Bible study program for Linux based on the Sword Project. There are several modules installed with GnomeSword including Bibles, Commentaries, and Dictionaries.
Ubuntu Christian Edition also includes fully integrated web content parental controls powered by Dansguardian. A graphical tool to adjust the filter settings has also been added. These features are truly what sets Ubuntu Christian Edition apart.
Enhancements:
- We are excited to announce the release of Ubuntu CE v3.3. This release adds a few new features and several updates and fixes. This release comes just after Ubuntu CEs 1st birthday. We have had a great year and are looking forward to the continued development in the year to come. We have added the WhatWouldJesusDownload toolbar to Firefox. This toolbar gives quick access to many of the great tools available at WhatWouldJesusDownload, the parent site of the Ubuntu CE project. The Ubuntu CE main menu icon has also been enhanced with an overlay to give it a more unique look. This is accomplished using gDesklets which also powers the desktop verse feature.

SLAX Server Edition is a pocket operating system with many internet services ready to use. Includes DNS, DHCP, HTTP, FTP, MySQL, SMTP, POP3, IMAP and SSH.
SLAX is a small bootable CD containing the Linux operating system. SLAX distirbution runs Linux directly from the CD (or USB) without installing.
The Live CD described here is based on the Slackware Linux distribution and is downloadable from this website as an ISO image.
The primary goal of SLAX is to provide a wide collection of useful software while keeping the cds image small enough to be written to a 185 MB CD-R(W) medium (small 8 cm CD). SLAX boots directly from the CD or USB devices and it provides a full featured Linux operating system.
All your available partitions and data storage devices (CD-ROM, USB storage devices, etc.) should be recognized at boot and should be mounted to /mnt/xx. As an example, "disc0part1" may be assigned to the first partition on your primary hard drive, "disc1part1" for your USB storage device, or "cdrom0" for your CD-ROM drive. SLAX will never write anything to the mounted devices. Mounting is safe and does not change the data.
After booting, you should be able to login as a "root", with the password "toor"; both without quotes, of course.
Enhancements:
- fixed smb-kioslave in KDE so user can browse local windows shares
- this fix is also available as a separate module
