Void
Void is an independently-developed, general-purpose operating system based on the monolithic Linux kernel. It features a hybrid binary/source package management system which allows users to quickly install, update and remove software, or to build software directly from sources with the help of the XBPS source packages collection. Other features of the distribution include support for Raspberry Pi single-board computers (both armv6 and armv7), rolling-release development model with daily updates, and native init system called "runit".

NEW • Linux Gets Small: LNX-BBC and Damn Small Linux |
Rate this project
|
Linux.com takes a look at two minimalist Linux distributions - LNX-BBC and Damn Small Linux: "These two BBCs are clearly meant for two different purposes. LNX-BBC is the power tool for experienced sysadmins involved in hardcore rescue operations, while Damn Small is a reasonably friendly miniature general purpose system. If I had a system that required serious network diagnosis or intrusion analysis, I would choose LNX-BBC because of its superb toolkit. If I had a system that needed simple edits to files or just an alternate operating environment, I'd probably go with Damn Smalll." The complete story.

NEW • Booting Your Business Card: Linux-BBC 2.1 |
Rate this project
|
Linux Journal looks at the latest release of LNX-BBC, the Linux Bootable Business Card 2.1: "The idea of being able to walk up to J. Random PC and have this much Linux goodness in something wallet-sized is worth it. I might actually have to find some business card CD-Rs specifically for this purpose. I don't think they would hold up too well in a wallet, but it sure would get clients' attention to hand them something with your name on it that was useful for more than scratch paper once the print on the front is transcribed. And these CDs would go well in the business card slot in a laptop or palmtop case. In addition, nothing prevents you from using a more standard form factor for the physical media; the 3.5" (180MB) minidisc size often works where something squared off does not. Whatever you put it on, it's a whole lot of bang for 48MB worth of bandwidth bucks." The full review.
