Open Source Linux Boot Software - Page 12

Runnix is a kexec/syslinux based loader for booting linux systems. It supports a wide range of unique features and can be easily customized and extended. Automatic updates (even over a network), image verification, and failover are all supported.

SLAVE is completely modulars set of scripts and programs, made to parallelize Linux Init's services, to increase booting speed.

This project provides a modification of the Linux boot sequence that allows a continuation of the boot process only if an encrypted filesystem can be used after entering a password. Without a successfully mounted filesystem the boot process will stop

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

SWAL is a program that can launch as a service (or standalone) and monitor other services and control other programs. Written in C++ and might have some .NET components (planning on a linux port)

Serviced (should be read as service d) is intended to replace the traditional init program. It's being written in C++.

An XML-based tool used to schedule uptime spans that uses the Linux real time clock (RTC) daily alarm to automatically power on the system before the span begins. Tools to test whether the system must stay on (attempt to halt) are included.

SimplicityOS is a project designed to create a simple but powerful operating system for the pc. The kernel was designed from scrath to create a fast and stable base. The filsystem used by SimplicityOS was also designed from scratch for stability.

LAN management system - MySQL based system managing machines with DHCP, DNS through a PHP Web interface. Also contains a samba search engine.

Kernel and utilities to run Linux on small machines, 2-3 megs of ram.

Small Linux from Network is a little Linux distro loaded from a network connection using a modified version of the DrakX (Mandriva Linux installer) loader. The OS image can be loaded from an HTTP, FTP or NFS server.

Kernel patches and tools providing OS based support for suspending your Linux computer.

This is the fifth or sixth generation of this idea, the big difference being that we have written some bootloader code and have started mapping out the kernel layout and structure. We have decided upon a core programming language for the kernel, and the core language for almost everything else. With a focus on isolating the MAJOR kernel features from the system itself, in what until now has remained research only instances, we hope to create a fully functioning exokerne. All code at this time will be available only via a git repository.

Linux Live-CDs/-USBs which boot with activated sshd. No need for Monitor, Keyboard or Mouse. But you need Ethernet with a dhcpd.

Symbion Daemon Tool is a daemon master tool. It runs and monitors other daemons, restart it when necessary. If a daemon supports SDT then it can communicate with it and it can be controlled through it.

System V Hierarchical InitScript allows to parallelize the start of services in a given System V runlevel by defining dependencies between them. And it is only 150 lines of shell script...

This is Rivoreo custom edition of the sysvinit program. The original sysvinit project page is at http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/sysvinit/ The original sysvinit Debian package project page is at http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-sysvinit/

The T-BASE OS Project aims on developing a new OS Kernel (BASE) with a brand new shell which will support many existing programs.

Talkware TIARA, an Openbios/GRUB/PFORTH composite, BIOS replacement. Boots an unmodifed linux kernel from an IDE drive or ethernet, using only 128kb of flash. Works with INTEL/AMD K6/2-450, SiS 530/5595 and 8139 enet. VGA & Serial console supported.

The idea of this project is to create a bootable CD, something like SuSE live eval which can be used to boot any PC (or Mac, hopefully) on a Network and log it onto a cluster. Any help is welcome!

FreeRC is an init suite consisting of boot scripts written in Lua and a small, fast, and portable init daemon.

ThinTUX is a small Linux distribution for thin clients. It has support for all major remote access protocols. The distribution can be booted from the network. The configuration is stored on a DHCP server to simplify terminal management.

"Tiny windows 2000 terminal" is a simplest way to deploy diskless terminals for windows 2000 terminal server. Like LTSP or other, but don't need additional Linux server because no X windows, no NFS and no swap needed for terminals. Work at i486 with 8

A triple boot solution for intel based macs.
