Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files.
With Ventoy, you don't need to format the disk over and over, you just need to copy the ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files to the USB drive and boot them directly.
You can copy many files at a time and Ventoy will give you a boot menu to select them.
You can also browse ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files in local disks and boot them.

Portable System for installing many Linux Distros on to a Pen drive
This project provides a Live DVD for the multibootusb program, for installing multiple Linux Distros on to a single Pen drive and able to boot from it. This is a portable system, which does not require any installation. Video Below.
This system can be started through the DVD Drive OR VirtualBox (See Below). This .iso file can also be written on to a small dedicated pen drive ( ~ 1 GB ) through this DVD's multibootusb program and further used for writing linux images on to other pen drives...
Depinit is an alternative init program that can handle parallel execution, dependencies, true roll-back, pipelines, improved signaling and unmounting filesystems on shutdown. It incorporates ideas from sysvinit, simpleinit, daemontools and make. At present, it is a bit experimental, and requires good knowledge of the initialisation process to set up.
rc.stupid a Linux daemon that:
- repeatedly runs a start script at system startup until this script exits with zero status
- regulary runs a check script
- runs a stop script at system shutdown
Why ?
Because startup systems like systemd and upstart are sometimes hard to tune in many situations, like MySQL data directory on a networked filesystem.
As rc.stupid does nothing other as running scripts (or anything that may be executed) you may find other use cases like simple clustering.
Small program to run from rcNG to start/stop user processes at bootup/shutdown. A few security checks are performed and the user's rcNG scripts are run as the UID of the owner.
Stop waiting on engineering. Build production-ready internal tools with AI—on your company data, in your cloud.
Retool lets you generate dashboards, admin panels, and workflows directly on your data. Type something like “Build me a revenue dashboard on my Stripe data” and get a working app with security, permissions, and compliance built in from day one. Whether on our cloud or self-hosted, create the internal software your team needs without compromising enterprise standards or control.
qingy is a replacement of getty. Written in C, it uses DirectFB to provide a fast, nice GUI without the overhead of the X Window System. It allows the user to log in and start the session of his choice (text console, gnome, kde, wmaker, ...).
A boot-Image (cramfs) written in shell-script to boot from various Devices (file-images, block-devices, crypto-container, vfat, ext2, ext3, ext4, ntfs, etc.)
TrustedGRUB extends the GRUB bootloader with TCG support. This makes it possible to provide a secure bootstrap architecture. The whole boot process is measured and - by support of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) - the system integrity is verifyable.
grub2rand is a perl script designed to change the grub2 picture randomly. Choose a folder with your pictures in it and every time you log into your computer, grub2rand will choose a new picture for the next startup.
This is a small program that reads and writes the WakeUp time in the BIOS.
This is done via /dev/nvram on recent kernels (>2.4.6, including 2.6.x) or, alternatively, via direct ISA access.
On this WakeUp time the computer is powered on automatically.
LVM - HPUX version tools for linux. New! Get freevxfs driver for mounting HP-UX VxFS filesystem on Linux! Had been tested on Physical/VMware RHEL 4 or 5 servers. Please send feedbacks and requests to zanzamer1@yahoo.com.
The Xbox Linux Project aims to privide a version of GNU/Linux for the Xbox, so that it can be used as an ordinary computer. Linux should make use of all Xbox hardware and allow to install and run software from standard i386 Linux distributions.
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.
This tool allows to boot linux-m68k from a floppy on a macintosh motorola 68K based. With it, you can create rescue disk, or remove the MacOS partition (needed by the legacy penguin booter) from your HD.
This project aims to develop a method to use runit and SysV init to enable parallel service startup during boot for Fedora Linux. Standard Fedora Init scripts will be ported to runit init scripts maintaining full functionality. Docs are in the wiki.
The netboot project allows booting a diskless PC over a TCP/IP based
network using standard protocols like BOOTP, DHCP and TFTP. It is
able to boot Linux, FreeBSD, multiple DOS variants (including MS-DOS, PC-DOS,
PTS-DOS, OpenDOS, NovellDOS, FreeDOS)
eINIT is an Init System for POSIX-compliant operating systems. The primary focus is on speed and modularity and, unlike other init systems, this one can be used in combination with others. Benchmarks suggest that einit is faster than initng and upstart.
tcron integrates 'cron/at' with ATX power-up capability. It can invoke
multiple cron/at jobs with power-up/shutdown a day. You can use it to:
1. Power up to play muisc/sound and shutdown (super alarm).
2. Record TV/Radio programs
