Open Source Unix Shell Live CD Distros for Linux

GaryOS is an entire GNU/Linux system in a single bootable file. It is also a Builder system to create and package Gentoo installations. Builder creates custom root filesystems that GaryOS can load into memory in place of its own. GaryOS can build new or updated versions of itself from within itself. Primary uses: * System rescue and recovery * Anonymous and secure workstation * GNU/Linux learning environment * Installation of Gentoo Unique advantages: * Source-based distributions are more flexible and powerful than binary ones * A single Kernel file is easier to manage and boot than an ISO image * GaryOS is stored on media as a resident of it, not the purpose of it No other GNU/Linux distribution takes the same approach or has the same features as GaryOS.

Based on the next generation of elementary OS. Lightweight and beautiful. All-new apps. A refined look. elementary is a team of dedicated developers, artists, and your everyday users who want to craft an incredible computing experience. We make elementary OS and many apps and give them to users to help bring this goal to reality. elementary is a software platform; a unified computer operating system. We have a commitment to a particular toolkit (GTK+) and support a preferred programming language (Vala). We decide how our apps will behave. Sometimes we take control and shape the out-of-the-box experience as much as we possibly can by creating our own apps. We've created an application development framework (Granite) and other developer tools that are designed to help developers build apps specifically for our platform.

The r4st ("Our Forest") project is a set of tools to assist with the rapid development of a database application. It uses shell scripts to drop/add Postgresql database tables/views with data loaded from sql and csv files. This process allows users to apply changes then re-build the system. It is essentially a customizable database regression system. The base schema and data module represent a plant database intended for educational and scientific usage.
