LIVE CD for Gentoo Linux

Linux 2912 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

The Live CD is a CD with lots of software that can be run directly off the CD. An attempt was made to have hardware detected and drivers loaded without any special configuration. The CD allows an easy installation of Gentoo Linux with a comfortable tool set. The binaries on the CDs were build for Pentium CPUs or better. The binaries are therefore not optimized for your system. Portions of the system or the whole system can be rebuild as desired after installing the software on the harddisk. Building a full Gentoo system from scratch can take days. Using the binaries off this CD can save a lot of time and takes the hassle out of installing a Gentoo/Linux system. The CDs contain compressed files using zisofs. There are about 1.5GB worth of files on these CDs and that space will need to be available on the Harddisk for installation. All LiveCDs are based on Gentoo 1.3b.

SoL - Server optimized Linux 15.00

Linux 2912 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

antitachyon has released a new version of SoL - Server optimized Linux

The system configuration is as transparent as the previous release, with XML-boot and configuration files, without the hassle of graphical configuration tools. SoL does not hide the advantages and virtues of the real GNU/Linux system behind bloated and clickable configuration utilities, which cannot provide the complete features of the GNU/Linux system. The simplicity and authenticity makes SoL an ideal platform for education on the GNU/Linux system.
