muLinux For Linux

muLinux is a minimalistic Linux distribution, suitable for old computers. X11, GCC, VNC, SSH, Samba, Netscape etc. are supported on additional addon floppies. It can be installed from DOS/Win9x or Linux, without repartitioning.

The "mu" stands for a Greek letter (see Unicode Latin-1 char 0x0b5) frequently used for indicating the millionth part of something. for example: "mu meter" (�m) stands for micro meter and is the one millionth part of a meter. The reason for the name "muLinux" is its tiny size.

� To contain in one single place all what is learnt about Linux, creating a type of live "collection of notes", and protecting it from any loss of information that the various versions of Linux sometimes create. � To begin to play with an operating system if one does not have the possibility to install a recent distribution of Linux on the hard disk. � To have a portable operating system, to use in ad-hoc locations or locations without configured and functioning software. � A change of heart... "Proselytism, proselytism..."

Here are some key features of "muLinux":

� An open script-based system (You can look inside the scripts, learning about Linux configuration policy). � A pluggable, incremental file-system. (The various add-ons may be inserted and removed without compromising the functionality). � The System runs in RAM, and does not require installation, but it can be "cloned" to the HD or a CD-ROM. � The System uses profiles: a pool of configuration data always saved. � The same installation archive for Linux and Windows users.
