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.

Generic, modular initramfs generation tool that can be used across various distributions.

Lightweight containers have made running a single process without normal init systems like systemd or sysvinit practical. However, omitting an init system often leads to incorrect handling of processes and signals, and can result in problems such as containers that can’t be gracefully stopped, or leaking containers that should have been destroyed. dumb-init is simple to use and solves many of these problems: you can just add it to the front of any container’s command, and it will take on the role of PID 1 for itself. It immediately spawns your process as PID ~2, and then proxies on any signals it receives. This helps to avoid special kernel behavior applied to PID 1, while also handling regular responsibilities of the init system (like reaping orphaned zombie processes). dumb-init is a simple process supervisor and init system designed to run as PID 1 inside minimal container environments (such as Docker). It is deployed as a small, statically-linked binary written in C.

eINIT is a replacement for the long standard sysvinit. It aims to be yet one of the fastest and most configurable init systems around.

genhostname is a linux perl script running at runlevel2 boot and changes the computers hostname to PC-XXXXXXXXXX deppending on the eth0 mac address or the wireless network card macaddress there is 2 scrips in the download. install the one you need.

A graphical user interface to bootloaders: grub, lilo and syslinux.

GUI-based project is intended to edit graphics parameters for GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader) such as setting font, background colors and ability to set an image as a background.

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.

Creates comfortable menus for your multiboot CD or DVD.

This bash shell script creates a floppy based distro using busybox and linux. You require busybox and squashfs patch to create the distro.

moerAskip enables the user to save, edit and switch network profiles. These profiles will include ip address, dns, printer, samba, webserver, desktop apps etc. settings. As of version 0.3 moerAskip will run on all platforms.

motd is an init script that dynamically collects system information at boot time and formats it properly into /etc/motd for display at login.

Trying to run Linux on a T-Home IPTV Media Receiver

Simple `init' program with parallel execution and dependencies via reference counting (`start' and `stop' commands).

ncurOS is a very secure OS, which is based on an UNIX (maybe linux) kernel. Many system tools are integrated in the kernel. All of these tools are written with ncurses. All ncurOS-developers follow a coding standard.

The odikadhcpd server is an open source dhcp server that works behind a relay dhcp. It couldn't be installed in front of a dhcp client. It is designed to respond to Telco providers or enterprises needs, which want a centralized dhcp server solution. * hooks for pre-process and post-process dhcp request * modular solution with referential in file,ldap,mysql and lease in mysql * support customize referentiel and lease solution * support integration of lease database with powerdns backend. * support overlaping subnet ( use for example in vcpe solution )

openMosixLOAF is a single floppy openMosix Linux mini-distro designed for diskless systems or HPC clusters where only CPU and memory is needed. It has drivers for all PCI Ethernet NICs that the Linux kernel has support for (10/100/1000).
