CHAOS (operating System)
Chaos is a small (6 MB) Linux distribution designed for creating ad hoc computer clusters. About Description Chaos creates a basic node in an OpenMosix cluster and is typically not deployed on its own; cluster builders will use feature-rich Linux distributions (such as Quantian or ClusterKnoppix) as a "head node" in a cluster to provide their application software, while the Chaos distribution runs on "drone nodes" to provide "dumb power" to the cluster. While this deployment model suits the typical cluster builder, OpenMosix is a peer-based cluster, consisting of only one type of node. All OpenMosix nodes are inherently equal and each can be, simultaneously, parent and child.

Quantian
''Quantian OS'' was a remastering of Knoppix/Debian for computational sciences. The environment was self-configuring and directly bootable CD/DVD that turns any PC or laptop (provided it can boot from cdrom/DVD) into a Linux workstation. Quantian also incorporated clusterKnoppix and added support for openMosix, including remote booting of light clients in an openMosix terminal server context permitting rapid setup of a SMP cluster computer. Applications Numerous software packages for usual or scientific aims come with Quantian. After the installation, total package volume is about 2.7 GB. The packages for "home users" include: *KDE, the default desktop environment and their components * XMMS, Kaffeine, xine media players *Internet access software, including the KPPP dialer, ISDN utilities and WLAN *The Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox and Konqueror web browsers * K3b, for CD (and DVD) management *The GIMP, an image-manipulation program *Tools for data rescue and system repair *Netwo ...

OpenMosix
openMosix was a free cluster management system that provided single-system image (SSI) capabilities, e.g. automatic work distribution among nodes. It allowed program processes (not threads) to migrate to machines in the node's network that would be able to run that process faster (process migration). It was particularly useful for running parallel applications having low to moderate input/output (I/O). It was released as a Linux kernel patch, but was also available on specialized Live CDs. openMosix development has been halted by its developers, but the LinuxPMI project is continuing development of the former openMosix code. History openMosix was originally forked from MOSIX by Moshe Bar on February 10, 2002 when MOSIX became proprietary software. openMosix was considered stable on Linux kernel 2.4.x for the x86 architecture, but porting to Linux 2.6 kernel remained in the alpha stage. Support for the 64-bit AMD64 architecture only started with the 2.6 version. On July 1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Live CD
A live CD (also live DVD, live disc, or live operating system) is a complete booting, bootable computer installation including operating system which runs directly from a CD-ROM or similar storage device into a computer's memory, rather than loading from a hard disk drive. A live CD allows users to run an computer operating system, operating system for any purpose without installing it or making any changes to the computer's configuration. Live CDs can run on a computer without Computer data storage, secondary storage, such as a hard disk drive, or with a corrupted hard disk drive or file system, allowing data recovery. As CD and DVD drives have been steadily phased-out, live CDs have become less popular, being replaced by live USBs, which are equivalent systems written onto USB flash drives, which have the added benefit of having writeable storage. The functionality of a live CD is also available with an Disk enclosure, external hard disk drive connected by USB. Many live CDs o ...

List Of Linux Distributions
This page provides general information about notable Linux distributions in the form of a categorized list. Distributions are organized into sections by the major distribution or package management system they are based on. Debian-based Debian (a portmanteau of the names "Deb" and "Ian") Linux is a distribution that emphasizes free software. It supports many hardware platforms. Debian and distributions based on it use the deb (file format), .deb package format and the dpkg package manager and its frontends (such as APT (software), apt or synaptic). Ubuntu-based Ubuntu (named after the Nguni people, Nguni philosophy of ''Ubuntu philosophy, ubuntu'') is a distribution based on Debian, designed to have regular releases, a consistent user experience and commercial support on both desktops and servers. Current official derivatives These Ubuntu variants, also known as Ubuntu flavours, simply install a set of packages different from the original Ubuntu, but since they draw addit ...

Node (networking)
In Computer network, networking, a node (, ‘knot’) is either a redistribution point or a communication endpoint within telecommunication networks. A physical network node is an electronic device that is attached to a network, and is capable of creating, receiving, or transmitting information over a communication channel. In data communication, a physical network node may either be data communication equipment (such as a modem, Network hub, hub, Network bridge, bridge or Network switch, switch) or data terminal equipment (such as a digital telephone handset, a printer or a host computer). A Passivity (engineering), passive distribution point such as a distribution frame or patch panel is not a node. Computer networks In data communication, a physical network node may either be data communication equipment (DCE) such as a modem, Network hub, hub, Network bridge, bridge or Network switch, switch; or data terminal equipment (DTE) such as a digital telephone handset, a printe ...

Linux
Linux ( ) is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an kernel (operating system), operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991, by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically package manager, packaged as a Linux distribution (distro), which includes the kernel and supporting system software and library (computing), libraries—most of which are provided by third parties—to create a complete operating system, designed as a clone of Unix and released under the copyleft GPL license. List of Linux distributions, Thousands of Linux distributions exist, many based directly or indirectly on other distributions; popular Linux distributions include Debian, Fedora Linux, Linux Mint, Arch Linux, and Ubuntu, while commercial distributions include Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise, and ChromeOS. Linux distributions are frequently used in server platforms. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free ...
