RUNT Linux
RUNT (ResNet USB Network Tester) was Slackware Linux designed to run from a 128MB USB pen drive. It consists of a boot floppy image and a zip file, similar to "zipslack". It was intended to be a fairly complete Linux installation for use as a testing tool capable of booting on any x86 computer with a USB port and a bootable floppy drive. The boot floppy was based on Slackware's bare kernel. It contains an initial ramdisk to load USB-storage related modules and it pauses for 5 seconds to allow the drive to initialize. The bootdisk also contains Memtest86, a very useful RAM testing tool, which can be started by typing memtest at the boot prompt. The zip file contains a UMSDOS filesystem designed to be extracted onto a 128MB pen drive with an MSDOS filesystem using 2K clusters.

Distribution Release: Greenie Linux 14.04.1 |
|
Stanislav Hoferek has announced the release of Greenie Linux 14.04.1, a Lubuntu-based desktop Linux distribution with special focus and tools designed for book writers: "Greenie, a Slovak/Czech distribution based on Ubuntu (okay, this time on Lubuntu) is back. At approximately 1 GB it uses Linux kernel 3.13, the LXDE environment, a few common programs (VLC, Firefox, etc) and of course those programs which are the reason this system was built for. The new Greenie, named internally as 'MoReWrite' which is a strange acronym for 'Modify, Read and Write', focuses mostly on ebooks and documents. If you read, edit, write, translate or convert books, all the necessary tools are on this single medium. We can mention the LibreOffice suite, PDF viewers (including programs for editing PDF), programs for undisturbed writing, tools for converting various kinds of ebooks, and everything for production of ebooks, such as creating cover and formatting."
