    JayOS description

    JayOS is a live CD OS distribution based on Linux From Scratch.

    JayOS is a live CD distro intended for use as a more secure mobile environment. JayOS integrates in-RAM filesystem encryption with plausible deniability for a system that can be difficult to alter without rebuilding.

    This offers a user with a high degree of data integrity; since all filesystems are either static or encrypted, the system is resistant to physical attacks.

    Features 2.6 kernel, unionfs, many network security and filesystem tools, UML, and QEMU. It runs well on low-end x86 hardware, and requires only 128MB RAM and a bootable CD drive to get started.

    There is some PowerPC support. Also included is standard desktop software. It is based on Linux From Scratch.

    What's New in This Release:

    · This release supports the Sony VAIO VGN-UX280P.
    · The source has been updated to the latest Linux From Scratch and BLFS releases.
    · The Linux kernel is at 2.6.22.5. X11 was upgraded to Xorg 7.2.
    · Extraneous programs have been removed, and many others upgraded.
    · The build process has been completely overhauled.
    · Later releases will include a generic kernel for non-VAIO x86 hardware.
    · Intel-based Macs are now supported (tested on Mac Mini), though X11 video needs additional configuration.
