"I didn't develop Linux, I just try to make it better"
When
a REDHAT
Engineer tells you that you created a very useful product
that has merit and means something...
The
first
thing he asked,
"Do you want to sell it"
Help Spread the
Word... LINUX!
Description:
DSoL is a Linux operating
system based on a modified version of Fedora Core. "But you can do this to any OS that use ext2 like RHEL. I have not try to use any other filesystem". That’s one third the size of a
normal install.
Our mission at DSoL is to help
Network Administrators and technicians manage their Linux networks
more efficiently and reliably. DSoL come with many admin utilities
(GParted, Testdisk, Putty, VNC Viewer , gFTP) and text editing
programs (leafpad, Emacs Text editor, Meld diff and VI) to assist you in you daily
tasks. There are
many file systems that the kernel supports (ext2/ext3,
reiserfs, reiser4, xfs, jfs, vfat, ntfs, fuse,
iso9660). Network Filesystems (samba, fuse-smb, fuse-sshfs, nfs, and ssh).
Start
protecting your servers and network from crashes that hurt.
I
know Fedora and Redhat are working on one but the image size is to larger,
and with the way I do it. You can customize it to you specs.
DSoL
has many different uses
Remote repair solution for
networks that uses Linux Operating Systems.
If the problem is software based. There is no
need to
send
a high priced technician onsite anymore. The technician can
simply walk the customer throught the Grub boot loader.
Then the technician will have full control over the
system
to
repair any problem.
If the problem is hard drive based.
Just send
a ground pounder onsite to plugin a DSoL. Then a technician can
remote login through VNC Server, SSHFS, etc.
DSoL
never use telnet for any reason.
An
alternative Linux server that is smaller, and faster than a regular
Linux install.
A tools that
should be in every technician tool box.
DSoL
uses a 2.6.22.6 kernel
build.
DSoL comes with a modified Gnome package that I like.
Basic system tools included
GParted:
Graphical
Partitioning tools for Linux to format, resize, and debug an existing
partition of your hard disk (ext2/3, Swap, NTFS and many other).
NTFS-3G:
An
open source drive, freely available NTFS driver for Linux with read and
write support. It provides safe and fast handling of the Windows XP,
Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 and Windows Vista file systems. Most
POSIX file system operations are supported, with the exception of full
file ownership and access right changes.
TestDisk:
A
powerful free data recovery software! It was primarily designed to help
recover lost partitions and/or make non-booting disks bootable again
when these symptoms are caused by faulty software, certain types of
viruses or human error (such as accidentally deleting your Partition
Table).
Scanswap:
An
automounting script for Swap space. No more guess where Swap space is
located. Scanswap has alright mounted it for you. (Ex. only
if
the drive has a partition with swapspace on it)
ddrescue:
A
data recovery tool. It copies data from one file or block device (hard
disc, cdrom, etc) to another, trying hard to rescue data in case of
read errors.
Fslint:
A utility to find and clean various forms of
lint on a filesystem.
At DSoL we are here to tell you the thing
you need to know. Not what you want to hear.
