TekDT BMC Pro is a lightweight Windows deployment platform for bootable USB/HDD media and PXE network boot. It streamlines installation into a repeatable workflow: choose the boot target, select or download a Windows ISO, then deploy Windows and post-install software with unattended automation. The platform supports UEFI and Legacy boot, integrated DHCP for PXE, real-time client monitoring, remote control actions, smart driver delivery, TLS-encrypted server/client communication, offline operation after preparation, state memory across sessions, and JSON-based customization. It also works with the original Windows WinPE environment, can install Windows on disks that already contain data, and supports deployment to multiple clients at once, making it a practical fit for repair shops, warranty centers, computer stores, IT teams, and school labs.

Sets out to be an innovative new operating system while retaining compatibility with POSIX and Win32

This program allows you to edit boot.ini, which is used to boot windows from 95 to XP.

XOSL is a graphical boot manager that supports multi-booting of various operating systems. Development is currently done under the XOSL2 title. Historical version download below:

A web based GUI for managing PXE boot and optionally managing DHCP service. Also supports creating and serving Kickstart and preseed scripts. This provides a client install in one click. This is a generic framework created to work with anything that's PXE bootable. Adding new hosts can be done via "PXE enrollment" where the client PXE boots to enroll into OneClickKick. Easily integrated with existing naming sources such as NIS and LDAP for central lookup of host and mac address information. OneClickKIck can also be integrated with FreeIPA (www.freeipa.org) to allow adding and modifying hosts directly in IPA.

This program helps you update your Linux distribution's Linux kernel by downloading the kernel from the KERNEL main repository.

Monitors Input usage such as Mouse/keyboard/gamecontrolers to allow powering down of system when it is idle for a user specified amount of time.

Powertweak-Linux is a port of the similarly named Microsoft Windows tool. It optimises your system to run at peek performance, by adjusting hardware settings, and config files. Work is underway in CVS to add features such as additional power management by

This project is based off of Sam Rape. The final product is a bootable floppy which copies the sam file, compresses it and puts it on a disk. A detailed description can be found at datastronghold.com/archive/t10429.html

SPBLinux: modular mini distribution running completely in RAM, can be booted from USB, based on Busybox and Midnight Commander, optional with DirectFB and (since version 2.1) Mozilla; it is possible to create/modify own modules inside SPBLinux.

Startup Helper lets users choose which programs are launched when the OS boots up. It also allows for waiting periods between launching programs, to prevent programs slowing each other down. During this startup process, the user can control the waiting period through the Startup Helper GUI, pausing the program, skipping a single program, or foregoing the waiting period and launching the next program immediately. This project is made in Java, so it should be multiplatform. However, I've only been able to test it on a Windows XP machine, so please let me know if there are oddities, bugs and/or malfunctions on other platforms.

System Configurator is a utility for automatically configuring networking and bootstrapping in a Linux Distribution and Architecture agnostic way.
