    RebeccaBlackOS

    RebeccaBlackOS

    Fan Made RebeccaBlackOS. VT-less Linux With Wayland.

    I got the idea to name a Linux distribution after my favorite celebrity after I saw some earlier Linux distributions named after celebrities, and also this KDE blog post. http://ivan.fomentgroup.org/blog/2011/05/02/splash-screens-and-qml/ And then I thought, she deserves the free promo too. This is amongst the first live distributions to provide a Wayland server. VTs are disabled in the kernel. While 32 bit and 64 bit x86 ISOs used to be provided in each build, the latest builds are 64 bit only due to QtWebEngine refusing to build in 32 bit chroots. (It does NOT have her copyrighted music, or photos on the ISO. You have to buy her music legally on iTunes (or Amazon, etc))) The build scripts in the SVN is available for you to modify and build your own version of this project. This distribution is 3RD PARTY fan made. Yes. I am a fan of Rebecca Black. The latest ISO now has a login manager for Wayland, and now it has removed X from the startup path of the system.

    Live CD With Zerofree Utility i686 32Bit

    Live CD With Zerofree Utility i686 32Bit

    A Custom Puppy Linux Live CD With Zerofree Utility i686 32 Bit

    After Booting with this Live CD, just click on the CDROM icon on the Desktop, to open its folder contents, then Right Click the zerofree.sh file and Choose the "Run in Terminal" option and then follow the instructions shown on the terminal. As you may be aware, Booting with a Live CD, requires that you need to change the Boot Order on your System / Guest BIOS, quickly on startup, by pressing either F2 OR F12 OR F10 OR an equivalent key and then change the Boot Order to boot from the CDROM first. Some Hints: Puppy Linux Live CDs show some dialogs / settings window on first startup / first shutdown. Feel free to dismiss / close them, if you do not want to make any changes, to the live cd's operation, next time, on the same system. This will not affect the zerofree's work in any way. Apart from this, using the Internet Browser, built in, would require a Free Memory of 1 GB or more, for better Performance ( as it is generally a memory intensive activity )

Support vEMan development for v2.0 by gofundme! http://www.gofundme.com/vEMan Why I started vEMan? Because I hate it to start my Windows VM to manage ESX(i) servers ;o) vEMan is (maybe) not needed if you use vCenter 5.x: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2005377 --> vSphere >= v5 has a "web client" BUT keep in mind that there are caveats: Not all features are available in the web client AND it can connect to vCenters only (see: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1006095) - ESX(i) v3.x or 4.x? - v5.x - but no vCenter? - you want a native Linux vSphere client? Then try vEMan! ------- vEMan is not published or pronounced by VMware Inc. vEMan is an OpenSource project from a private person without any warranty or claim to bother VMware Inc.

    GaryOS

    GaryOS is an entire GNU/Linux system in a single bootable file

    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.
