Pearl's first Pantheon release. The Pearl 7.1 base (18.04) is where this version starts but has many familiar features the folks familiar with Elementary OS and will feel at home but not quite because as Usual we like to twist it up a bit. The just released of Elementary OS is great and now the Pearl Linux version of Elementary OS with the standard Pearl defaults including compiz for desktop effects available threw the Pearl Window Manager Switcher. For updates we chose to not use the normal way we do updates on other current Pearl releases which is by means of PearlUpdate, which is our version of MintUpdate from Linux Mint. Updates are handled with the default of the Pantheon Desktop Environment to keep the Elementary OS feel as default. Easily installs UEFI on older Mac Book Pro's. For the inexperienced, after install just create a ReFind bootable usb thumb drive available on https://sourceforge.net/projects/refind/files/0.11.4/refind-flashdrive-0.11.4.zip/download

PLAC is a business card sized bootable cdrom running linux. It has network auditing, disk recovery, and forensic analysis tools. ISO will be avialable and scripts to roll you own cd.

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

RebootInto adds icons to your GNOME and Windows desktops for each operating system entry in your GRUB menu.lst. RebootInto integrates with GRUB to allow clicking a "Linux" icon in Windows to reboot into Linux, and vice versa.

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 software can be used to enter the bootstrap mode on Sagem (TM) GSM mobile phones and execute some program on their internal CPU. This might be useful for writing into the flash memory, repairing EEPROM contents or just for educational purposes.

Shabdix GNU/Linux is a live CD based on KNOPPIX and Debian. It features KDE with the Farsi/Persian translation.

TCDR is a ncurses (dialog) based console frontend for the following programs: mkisofs, cdrecord, cdrdao, cdda2wav, cdparanoia, readcd, dd, isoinfo, sox, mpg123 and bladeenc written in bash.

The Bootdisk-HOWTO describes how to design and build your own boot/root diskettes for Linux. These disks could be used as rescue disks or to test new system components.

A continuation of the Small Linux Project with a new team of developers. Small Linux is a distro which is designed to run on low-spec computers (386 and 2-3 mb of ram). Built upon uClibc and Busybox.

The Trion Object Oriented Operating system is an OS that is designed to meet the needs for the 21st century, with a kernel written in C++ and modelled in UML, and lots of features. The project is run by a team of OSDev.org community members.

This small piece of software checks or sets BIOS settings of the Award BIOS from within a running operating system. This BIOS is commonly used by PC-Engines in their ALIX-boards, for example in the ALIX.3D3 (AMD-LX800). www.trilogik.de

a new kind of OS. just an experimental and limited system to test a new concept based of user centric view, but nothing is done because it's "normal" in all OSes , everything is thinked again. The aim is to manage information (represented as XML) wit

Bootdisk lets you create boot and root disks for booting linux. These disks should permit rescue when normal boot is no more available. Bootdisk makes possible quick tests adjusting your set of utilities.

Choose-OS (chos), is a modular and configurable boot loader for Linux/x86 - a program that is loaded by the BIOS before any operating systems. This program then lets you choose the operating system to boot and possibly enter parameters to it

cinit is a fast, parallel booting, true dependency supporting init system with support for profiles.

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.

Assume you have a linux box with an outdated linux. You would like to perform an upgrade, but you would like to avoid burning a CD or even making a bootable USB flash. The machine may even be somewhere where you do not even have physical access. You already have a running kernel and a working network connection. Why not use them to get your new linux running directly? Many distributions already provide a network install but getting the installer to run on your old linux proves tricky because you depend on local libraries and tools. Why not rely instead only on the linux kernel? You unpack a minimal set of tools to a separate directory, you chroot to it and start from a well defined configuration that can get you to your destination.

An encrypted root overlay fs. Provides initrd data. For instructional use only.

This is a branch from the fxload project, originally part of the linux-hotplug SourceForge project which seems to be abandoned. This branch incorporates the patch from Steven J. Magnani that adds support for Cypress FX3 USB 3.0 endpoint to the fxload utility. It has been tested on Ubuntu 12.04 with the FX3 development kit (part number CYUSB3KIT-001). Oddly, as of January 2013 Cypress doesn't include this utility with its (open source) Linux SDK but requires developers to purchase a copy of MS Windows to be able to program the board. This SourceForge project contains no new code.

Goal is a complete easy to configure suite of ghpsdr3-alex application on a bootable USB Flash drive The ghpsdr3-alex project wiki is located at http://napan.ca/ghpsdr3/index.php/Main_Page ghpsdr3-alex is a set of Applications aimed at Ham Radio operators to use SDR (Software Defined Radio) hardware. The focus is on remote capabilities using the softrock SDR hardware.

A set of bash scripts implementing hardware and system profiles for linux. Configuration files may be switched and scripts run dependent on the state of things such as hardware configuration, power management, or network connections.

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.

A linux from windows installer, that is, an installer that runs on Windows and installs linux.

lxbios is a utility for reading/writing LinuxBIOS parameters and displaying information from the LinuxBIOS table. It is intended for x86-based Linux systems (either 32-bit or 64-bit) that use LinuxBIOS.
