MagOS 20110413 (based on Mandriva 2010.2) | 1.06 Gb
MagOS Linux - is a multi-distribution based on Mandriva Linux scripts and Linux-live.org. According to the principle of MagOS a Live system, which can be used as a normal distribution. In this case, you get all the same as in normal distribution + incredible flexibility through modules and features to boot the system virtually from anywhere (hard drives, flash drives, network boot via NFS, HTTP, DVD). A compressed file system makes the distribution of compact and increases the speed.
A brief overview of the system:
Installation is just copying files to the file system (FAT, NTFS, EXT, etc.), the loader put through scripts under Linux and Windows.
By storing data files by default allocated 512 MB for the first profile, and 256 MB of the second profile that can be changed at will (the console)
Profiles include adapting the system for themselves and do not contain general distribution files, you can easily archive, copy, view and edit, reset the file changes (cm / mnt / live / memory / changes)
Scripts linux-live.org provide certain advantages, such as: copy2ram option and ability to save data directly to Flash USB to FAT system
Ability to work without a hard drive in your computer
Equipment automatically detected and configured during system startup.
The system includes:
MagOS contains about 3,5 GB of software packed in lzma modules with total size of about 1 GB.
The composition includes MagOS directly 3 graphic environments - KDE4, Gnome, LXDE. Possible to choose any depending on personal preferences and capabilities of the hardware.
Included software for the Internet, office, administration and reconstruction, image editors, development environments.
Possible to run programs and games for Windows using the library of Wine, but PlayOnLinux makes it easy to configure software in Wine.
On the video card that supports acceleration (Nvidia, Ati, Intel) might use a three-dimensional desktop Compiz with incredible graphics effects.
Ext. Information:
Possible to have 4 desktop operating system for 2 GB Flash USB (1 GB MagOS + 4 profiles, 256 MB)
You can create a customized user neubivaemy OS, where the required data are stored on the screw in the folder, and all changes to the system after the reboot are lost and the system is restored to its original state.
"The principle of humanity." The system is configured and not a computer, and a man. You always wears his running with you and use it on different computers.
You can throw out unnecessary system modules and assemble software distribution tasks in formats: Live CD / DVD, Live Flash, Live HDD
The system can easily add modules, and make your module can even inexperienced user.
Activate the module, you can simply click and he immediately "on the fly is available in the system.
Possible to boot the system via HTTP or NFS for diskless terminals and at the same time get a thick client with the ability to run Windows in a virtual machine (Windows running on HTTP!!! And not subject to virus attacks). At the same time can work in programs requiring large computational resources (programs and 3D modeling, etc.) and what was not achieved when using thin client technology.
Support for AES256 encrypted modules that are easily created and connected.
Separate containers home directory / home with the possibility of encryption AES256.
Modules available on record in which you can store individual directories, personal settings, documents, files, etc.
Easy to upgrade through synchronization with a centralized repository.
The set of modules assembled with a set of programs on various topics.
and much more.
