Booting Your Business Card: Linux-BBC 2.1 |
| 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.

| About LNX-BBC |
| The LNX-BBC is a miniature Linux-based GNU distribution, small enough to fit on a CD-ROM that has been cut, pressed, or molded to the size and shape of a business card. In 1999 Duncan MacKinnon, Tom Crimi, and Seth David Schoen started work on the project at Linuxcare. Linuxcare printed 10,000 copies of the "Linuxcare Bootable Business Card" to be distributed at the then-upcoming LinuxWorld Conference and Expo. The give-away mini CD-ROMs were a huge success and have generated steady praise and thanks for their rescue capabilities, attracting many other developers to the project. The BBC went through seven versions, five of which were pressed into business-card sized CD-ROMs and handed out at trade shows or distributed by mail to Linux User Groups around the world. |
