linux os

X/OS Linux is derived from the Free/Open Source rpm packages of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL4) under the requirements set forth by their trademark policy.

X/OS has spent considerable effort to avoid using Red Hats trademarks in any way that would imply an association with or sponsorship by Red Hat.

After some delay, the final release of X/OS Linux 4.0 is now available to the public.

The X/OS Linux team has spent considerable effort to assure the label enterprise-grade Linux for this milestone release. With the simultaneous availability of X/OS Linux 4.0 for x86 and x86_64 processor architectures, it delivers the latest best-of-breed Free and Open Source software for both 32- and 64-bit platforms.

Highlights include the 2.6 Linux kernel featuring numerous enhancements over the previous 2.4 version, Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) to apply more granular security policies, improved storage capabilities supporting file systems of up to 8TB and more.

The Global File System (GFS) and Cluster Suite software is included in this release to ease the task of creating and managing advanced cluster configurations, and is available as an extra option during installation. This powerful set of tools provides seamless scalability of applications such as databases, web servers and high-performance computing clusters with GFS enabling nodes to simultaneously read and write to a single shared filesystem.

Next to providing an advanced server platform, X/OS Linux 4.0 adds various enhancements to the desktop increasing usability with greatly improved office productivity tools, plug-and-play USB device recognition and power management supporting the ACPI standard.

In addition to compatibility with the de facto distribution for deploying Linux in the enterprise, X/OS Linux strides to include various other useful packages and tools that conform to the standard for mature and robust enterprise-grade software. One example is Xfce, an extra option in addition to Gnome and KDE, offering a light-weight desktop environment suited for use on low-end or thin client systems.

OS X Login Screen is a very accurate OS X login Screen Mimic for Kubuntu Linux.

Peachtree Linux is a new Linux distribution being developed by several students/former students at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Since its inception in the fall of 2002, Peachtree Linux has aimed to be a small system for the seasoned Linux user. You wont find GNOME or KDE among Peachtree Linuxs packages, so it might not be the system for you. There are several simple rules we try to follow:

1. No GNOME or KDE.
2. All X11 programs have their binaries, libraries, and headers installed to the /usr/X11R6 tree.
3. All configuration files are placed in /etc.
4. /bin and /lib do not exist, they are soft links to /usr/bin and /usr/lib, respectively.
5. /sbin contains statically compiled programs that can bring a system up from a cold boot, nothing more.
6. We have one program per task. We do not like distributions which offer dozens of MP3 players, or mail clients, or window managers. We do have exceptions to this rule, but we generally stick to it.

Thats more or less the guiding ideas behind the distribution. It is developed in parallel on both PowerPC and i386. Work is being done to port the distribution to Alpha, PA-RISC, and MIPS platforms.

Were not out to change the world with this distribution. We just want to make a system that we like to use. If you like the sound of what were trying to put together, then Peachtree Linux may be for you. If the ideas really dont get you excited, you may want to find another distribution.

Whats New in This Release:

· os/branches/RELENG_1/src/pkgs/httpd/files/httpd.htdigest.patch,
· os/branches/RELENG_1/src/pkgs/httpd/patchlist: (* Security Fix *)
· Fixed potential buffer overflow in htdigest (CAN-2005-1344).

Santa Fe Desktop Linux is an easy to use desktop operating system. It puts some of the worlds best open source applications within the reach of non-technical users. It even runs right off the CD so you can try it without installing.

Santa Fe Desktop Linux was built following these design goals:

Make it familiar. Present the user a familiar interface where they dont have to guess which buttons do what.

Keep it small. The distribution should install and run from a single CD.

Make it useful to normal users. The distribution should be useful to a large non-technical audience.

Keep it fun. Make sure audio and video work to the best of their abilities so the users can play games and enjoy multimedia without hassle.

Leave the user alone. Hardware should always be automatically detected and configured without the users help. Software configuration should automatically have sane defaults.

Unlike other operating systems, Santa Fe is designed to automatically configure itself everytime it runs. It will auto-detect the right drivers for your hardware and configure it all to the best of its abilities. No more troublesome driver installs. Santa Fe works best in Plug and Play and DHCP environments.

Here are some key features of "Santa Fe Linux":

· A viable alternative to your current operating system (OS).
· Imagine if your OS came preinstalled with a fully featured photo editing and image creation program.
· Imagine if every OS included an animation and 3D graphics creation program.
· What if your OS came standard with finance management and desktop publishing applications?.
· Now imagine if all those things were available for $39.95.
· Santa Fe Linux offers the open source solution to the seemingly impossible dream described above. Santa Fe comes with a program called the GIMP, a fully featured digital photo editing and image/graphics creation program. Blender, another standard program, is a 3D graphics, animation, rendering, and post production program. Managing finances is easy with GNU Cash, an open source program that gets your finances organized quickly. Desktop publishing is simple with Scribus, a program that allows you to create everything from newsletters to a fully produced magazine.
· Also, Santa Fe features a full office suite that is compatible with Microsoft� Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Outlook.

Jedo Linux (pronounced jed-o), is a simple, clean Linux distribution that aims to provide a reliable distro for power users. Its best described as a cross between Linux From Scratch (LFS), Redhat and Gentoo.

Jedo Linux is a original distro (not built on any existing one), although it tends to lean towards LFS and feels a bit like Redhat when using it.

Source based distro allows rapid development, and makes it easy for users to tweak the distro to their liking. (most packages can also be installed from binaries)

Vanilla Kernel Jedo Linux runs a vanilla kernel, and this is updated regularly to the latest stable kernel.

Decent Support Life 3yr support life by default (may be adjusted depending on usage and versions avalible).

Release Cycle Aim to release a new version about once every 2 years, and release feature updates roughly every 6months for released versions. (of course security updates are released ASAP)

Desktop Distro Designed for use on desktops and laptops.

OSS All software included in the default install is Open Source (or Freedom Software) - including firmware. Some closed source software is in the repo, but it is clearly marked in the "nonfree" category. If you dont belive in using propietary software or kernel modules, none will be installed without you requesting it. Software that uses patented technology (eg: libdvdcss) is also in the "nonfree" category.

For expert users Its a distro for Linux power users - installer and config tools are all CLI and assumes you know all about partitioning, package management, etc.

New, but not bleeding Jedo Linux uses the latest stable technology - latest & greatest but not bleeding edge - because people like having their systems work as expected. Jedo Linux gives you good tools that work so you can get on with what you want to do without having to mess about fixing the OS.

Basicly, its a distro aimed at your LFS compiling, technically skilled Linux user who wants a distro that is simple to use and install - its not for your average Mum & Dad who just want to send email - that sort of user should look at something like Ubuntu. Neither is it a server distro as its not feature frozen - use something like Redhat EL/CentOS or Debian if you are after a feature distro with a long support life.
