andLinux: run Linux natively inside Windows

Alien — 2008-03-27T11:40:00Z

andLinux is a complete Ubuntu Linux system running seamlessly in Windows 2000 based systems (2000, XP, 2003, Vista; 32-bit versions only). This project was started for Dynamism for the GP2X community, but its userbase far exceeds its original design. andLinux is free and will remain so, but donations are greatly needed.

Linux Security Distributions

Alien — 2007-08-17T09:00:00Z

Endian Firewall Community is a "turn-key" linux security distribution that turns every system into a full featured security appliance. The software has been designed with "usability in mind" and is very easy to install, use and manage, without losing its flexibility.

http://www.endian.com/en/community/about/overview/

Vyatta software combines the features, performance and reliability of an enterprise-class router, firewall and VPN with the cost savings and flexibility of open-source solutions. By leveraging the performance and economics of the x86 hardware ecosystem, Vyatta solutions enable customers to grow their networks on a vastly more efficient cost curve and deliver twice the routing performance at half the price of proprietary vendor solutions.

OpenSolaris liveupgrade build51 to build57

Alien — 2007-03-09T10:33:00Z

I had three issues when doing an OpenSolaris liveupgrade from build51 to build57. Here are the solutions.

(1) grub menu entries were not updated correctly

# vi /boot/grub/menu.lst

title build57
root (hd0,0,a)
kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix
module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive

title build57 failsafe
root (hd0,0,a)
kernel /boot/platform/i86pc/kernel/unix -s
module /boot/x86.miniroot-safe

(2) zfs did not mount because the mountpoints were created during liveupgrade

# zfs umount -a
# rmdir [zfs-pool-directory]/*
# rmdir [zfs-pool-directory]

(3) "The application gnome-volume-manager has crashed." when loading the desktop

# svcadm enable hal rmvolmgr

Solaris keyboard boot configuration

Alien — 2006-11-15T17:32:00Z

In the file /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc

setprop kbd-type US-English

For a german keyboard it would be 'German' instead.

setprop kbd-type German
