Quantian Scientific Computing Environment
A Knoppix/Debian variant tailored to numerical and quantitative analysis, Quantian was a remastering of Knoppix, the self-configuring and directly bootable CDROM that turns any PC or laptop (provided it can boot from CDROM) into a full-featured Linux workstation. The most recent version was based on clusterKnoppix and adds support for openMosix, including remote booting of light clients in an openMosix terminal server context. Quantian was an extension of Knoppix and clusterKnoppix from which it takes its base system of about 2GB of software, along with fully automatic hardware detection and configuration. However, Quantian differs from Knoppix by adding a set of programs of interest to applied or theoretical workers in quantitative or data-driven fields.

NEW • Interview with Mike Angelo, Eagle Linux |
Rate this project
|
Eagle Linux does not get much news coverage, so it's nice to see this interview with Mike Angelo, the developer of Eagle Linux, over at TuxReports: "What makes Eagle Linux stand out is that it isn't actually a tangible distribution. It lives in the form of a well written set of documents (how-tos) that describe, in detail, the steps needed to create a bootable Linux floppy or CD, however the CD based version provides the most functionality. Now that the web hosting services have been improved, an ISO image will soon be available for download for those who simply don't have the time or desire to actually create their own CD. As Eagle's feature set progresses, this will become a more popular avenue for that sector." Read the rest of the interview.

| About Eagle Linux
|
| Eagle Linux is a Linux distribution that boots and runs from a floppy or a CD-ROM, saving you the trouble of having to install Linux on your system - and you build it yourself! There is no longer a need to repartition your hard drive or uninstall your current operating system. This is a great feature for academic sectors who may have had systems donated by companies who don't allow the format of the hard drive to be changed (repartitioning). Eagle Linux is also a great embedded systems learning tool, and since you build it yourself, it can easily be created to run on any processor family. What's unique about Eagle Linux? It does not use a compressed file system for standard files, making file access faster. It detects and mounts your IDE and SCSI hard drives in write mode, allowing read/write media access. It also offers an easier way for less experienced Linux users to create their own bootable floppy or CD from scratch using the HOW-TOs available on the downloads page.
