Bedrock Linux is a meta Linux distribution which allows users to utilize features from other, typically mutually exclusive distributions. Essentially, users can mix-and-match components and packages as desired from multiple Linux distributions and have them work seamlessly side-by-side. The project's latest release is Bedrock Linux 0.7.7 which adds support for downloading KISS Linux, adds support for more CPU architectures, and fixed DNS resolution for some distributions. "A point update has been released for 0.7. To update to it, run brl update as root. Added brl-fetch KISS Linux support. Added brl-report check for environment variables. Added brl-update support for verifying signature of offline updates. Added brl-update support scanning multiple configured mirrors. Added init message about bedrock.conf. Added installer check for corrupt embedded tarball. Added installer check for grub2-mkrelpath bug. Added installer message about bedrock.conf. Added official installer/update binaries for ppc64le. Fixed brl-fetch arch. Fixed brl-fetch fedora. Fixed brl-fetch mirrors with paths in http indexes." A full list of changes can be found on the project's news page. Scripts for setting up Bedrock Linux on various architectures can be found on the project's GitHub Releases page. |

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.
Status: Discontinued
