DHCP Server Open Source Freeware Windows/Linux. MultiSubnet DHCP Server supports Dynamic, Static Leases, Relay Agents, BOOTP, PXEBOOT. Global, Range and Client Specific Options. Supports filtering of ranges on Mac Address, Vendor and User Class.

Self Integrated DNS DHCP Server Open Source Freeware Windows/Linux. Works as DHCP or DNS Server or both. Using both services automatically adds DHCP allotted hosts automatically to DNS Server. Support Relay Agent, PXEBOOT, BOOTP, Zone Trasfer, DHCP Range Filters. Download.

Small Linux console getty that is started on the Linux text console, asks for a login name and then tranfers over to /bin/login. Is extended to allow automatic login and starting any app.

All Tini does is spawn a single child (Tini is meant to be run in a container), and wait for it to exit all the while reaping zombies and performing signal forwarding. It protects you from software that accidentally creates zombie processes, which can (over time!) starve your entire system for PIDs (and make it unusable). It ensures that the default signal handlers work for the software you run in your Docker image. For example, with Tini, SIGTERM properly terminates your process even if you didn't explicitly install a signal handler for it. It does so completely transparently! Docker images that work without Tini will work with Tini without any changes. Add Tini to your container, and make it executable. Then, just invoke Tini and pass your program and its arguments as arguments to Tini.

TeutonPE is inspired by PortableApps.com combined with a PeBuilder compiled Boot USB / CD. Programs can be used, even when there is no OS installed. BB4win is used for Live Menu and as the default Shell.All Plugins are also BartPE & XPE compatible

Nueva versión con soporte para pseudo tmpfs. Ahora la cantidad de archivos copiados puede exceder la cantidad de RAM del sistema!!

qingy is a replacement of getty. Written in C, it uses DirectFB to provide a fast, nice GUI without the overhead of the X Window System. It allows the user to log in and start the session of his choice (text console, gnome, kde, wmaker, ...).

Lightweight containers have made running a single process without normal init systems like systemd or sysvinit practical. However, omitting an init system often leads to incorrect handling of processes and signals, and can result in problems such as containers that can’t be gracefully stopped, or leaking containers that should have been destroyed. dumb-init is simple to use and solves many of these problems: you can just add it to the front of any container’s command, and it will take on the role of PID 1 for itself. It immediately spawns your process as PID ~2, and then proxies on any signals it receives. This helps to avoid special kernel behavior applied to PID 1, while also handling regular responsibilities of the init system (like reaping orphaned zombie processes). dumb-init is a simple process supervisor and init system designed to run as PID 1 inside minimal container environments (such as Docker). It is deployed as a small, statically-linked binary written in C.

This project is orphaned, Debian dropped it in 2014, and RH & SUSE stopped using this tree (and feeding back change) long before that so no longer interested in working on it. Feel free to start your own source tarball is available.

UEFI fdisk is a port to UEFI of the famous fdisk partitioning tool from util-linux, see https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux . Now since this program runs directly under UEFI shell you don't need to *boot* the system to edit partition tables.

Mainly this project aims at easing startup and use of XCSoar (see xcsoar.org) on Kobo Mini. But the scope of use should not be limited solely to XCSoar. The Launcher should be small in code size, reuse most of the original libraries, provide flexible configuration to any application that might be ported to the Kobo Mini. It supports customizable fonts, toolbox-pages, buttons (also graphical), labels, autostart and sleep timers.

Virtual Linux 1.1 (Tiger Edition) is basically the Mandrake Linux operating system, modified to run directly from your cd rom drive. With Virtual-Linux 1.1 you get about 1.6 gigabytes of software, all compressed onto one cd rom, using cloop compression.

Getwifi allows Linux users to join wireless networks easily by joining available networks in an order specified by the user. Getwifi is configured using a single file which specifies networks, optional WEP keys, and the order in which to join networks.

Linux-based Network Bootmanager A graphical bootmanager providing OS deployment and repair for Linux, Windows, possibly other operating systems, via PXE and local cache.

Minirighi is a multi-threading open-source operating system written for didactic purpose. It has been written from scratch and it is compatible with POSIX.

Multicast BOOTP Java server and C client

OpenBoot is a boot loader supporting multi CPU-architectures. It is configurable and portable, and its source codes are enough clear to read.

Committed to the development of fundamental ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) components for Linux. This includes a generic ACPI table parser, AML interpreter, bus and device drivers, policy, user interface, and support tools.

This project is dedicated for supporting large SMP and cc-NUMA platform configuration using ACPI 2.0 or later, including cc-NUMA configuration support and implementation of various module drivers for hotplug, sleep states and large I/O subsystem.

This project's goal was to develop an open source firmware for Sinus 154 DSL Basic SE and similar AR7 based devices. Projektziel war die Entwicklung einer freien Firmware für Sinus 154 DSL Basic SE und vergleichbare Geräte mit AR7-Prozessor.

Agnix is an educational, network operating system kernel. It is ideal starting point to learn about operating systems. The main goal of the project is to provide a network kernel fully compatible with the Linux Kernel in the system call layer

Amacdys is a single floppy operating system for playing mp3 CDs. Or Amacdys is bootable mp3 player, that fits into single floppy.

A simple, easily customizable framework to produce the users choice of an initrd or initramfs package. My goal is to make Another Early Userspace Init Option that isn't outdated, hard to customize, or arbitrarily limited.

Application Keepalive Daemon will run an application until it stops and then run it again. Setup continously run applications not designed as daemons.
