RUNT Linux
RUNT (ResNet USB Network Tester) was Slackware Linux designed to run from a 128MB USB pen drive. It consists of a boot floppy image and a zip file, similar to "zipslack". It was intended to be a fairly complete Linux installation for use as a testing tool capable of booting on any x86 computer with a USB port and a bootable floppy drive. The boot floppy was based on Slackware's bare kernel. It contains an initial ramdisk to load USB-storage related modules and it pauses for 5 seconds to allow the drive to initialize. The bootdisk also contains Memtest86, a very useful RAM testing tool, which can be started by typing memtest at the boot prompt. The zip file contains a UMSDOS filesystem designed to be extracted onto a 128MB pen drive with an MSDOS filesystem using 2K clusters.

Qomo Linux, a product of China's Red Flag, is a free community distribution (the relationship between Red Flag Linux and Qomo Linux is roughly equivalent to the one that exists between Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Fedora). Yesterday the project announced the release of Qomo Linux 1.0.0 as part of the Software Freedom day celebrations that is taking place at various universities around the country. The new version of Qomo Linux is a live CD with a hard disk installation option; the main components include Linux kernel 2.6.35, KDE 4.5.0 desktop, glibc 2.12, GCC 4.5.0 and X.Org Server 1.8.0, while among the available graphics card drivers there are the proprietary NVIDIA 256.53, Nouveau 0.0.15, Intel 2.12, ATI 6.13.1 and Radeon HD 1.3.0. The announcement also provides a note on future stable Qomo releases - from now on they will be published twice a year (in the third week of each March and September). See the release announcement (in Chinese) for further information, a changelog and a handful of screenshots. Download: Qomo-1.0.0-i686-Live.iso (662MB, MD5).

Distribution Release: Qomo Linux 3.0 |
|
Qomo Linux, previously known as Everest Linux, is a community distribution maintained by the Linux-Ren community in China with support from Red Flag and other companies. Qomo Linux 3.0 was released partially in celebration of the Free Software Day of 2011. It is based on the latest stable version of the Linux kernel patched by the community with abundant hardware support. Systemd preempts upstart to speed up the booting process, and certain package descriptions have been translated into Chinese for better localization. LibreOffice is now the productivity suite, but is only available from the online software repository simply for reducing the footprint of the ISO image. Check the brief announcement (in Chinese) with a few screenshots. Download: Qomo-3.0-i686-Live.iso (681MB, MD5).
