Sugar is a little too old for her, I think. I described it in my podcast some time ago -- easy UI, lots of cool sounds, BabySmash-style keyboard mappings, easy access to bookmarked, downloaded YouTube videos, etc. Qimo looks like it's in the right ballpark -- anyone else got a good "BabyBuntu?" fjordaan Fri, 22 May 2009 16:33:51 GMT http://www.susestudio.com/ What can you do with SUSE Studio?Create a tuned server appliance, containing your application and just enough operating system componentsSpin a live CD or DVD with just the packages and software you need Create a ready-to-run VMware virtual applianceCreate a live USB key and carry your Linux system with you wherever you go Build a hard disk image for preloading onto hardwareInstall from your live CD, DVD or USB key to your hard drive kfvd Sun, 19 Apr 2009 20:11:04 GMT http://www.haiku-os.org/ Haiku is an open-source operating system currently in development designed from the ground up for desktop computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku aims to provide users of all levels with a personal computing experience that is simple yet powerful, and free of any unnecessary complexities.

From the programmer's point of view Phantom is just a big graph of objects, and these objects never die. OS ensures that all the memory contents are sound and safe, even if power's going down. It is not guaranteed that the very last state of memory is saved (though it can be achieved), but it IS guaranteed that saved memory snap is consistent – all the objects are snapped at the same 'personal' timescale moment. Physically, of course, snapshot is being done quite slowly, to not to disturb user with high disk IO activity. kfvd Sat, 07 Feb 2009 17:50:52 GMT http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2260079,00.asp Operating Systems - Reviews by PC Magazine downloads,tools,utilities, playboypaul Thu, 02 Oct 2008 02:18:19 GMT http://www.nexenta.org/os Nexenta Operating System is a free and open source operating system combining the OpenSolaris kernel with GNU application userland. Nexenta Operating System runs on Intel/AMD 32/64bit hardware and is distributed as a single installable CD. Upgrades and binary packages not included on the CD can be installed from NexentaOS repository using Advanced Packaging Tool. In addition, source based software components can be downloaded from network repositories available at Debian/GNU Linux and Ubuntu Linux, and built as described here. kfvd Sun, 27 Jul 2008 12:17:02 GMT http://www.sics.se/contiki/ Contiki is an open source, highly portable, multi-tasking operating system for networked memory-constrained networked embedded systems. A typical Contiki configuration is 2 kilobytes of RAM and 40 kilobytes of ROM. Contiki contains two communication stacks: uIP and Rime. uIP is a small RFC-compliant TCP/IP stack that makes it possible for Contiki to communicate over the Internet. Rime is a lightweight communication stack designed for low-power radios that provides a wide range of communication primitives and protocols, such as multi-hop data collection, multi-hop unicast mesh routing, and reliable multi-hop network flooding. Contiki consists of an event-driven kernel on top of which application programs are dynamically loaded and unloaded at runtime.

It is based on 4.4BSD-Lite (mostly OpenBSD, some NetBSD®). The MirPorts Framework is a portable ports tree to facilitate the installation of additional software. The project also releases some portable software: mksh, a pdksh-based shell; PaxMirabilis, an archiver for various formats; MirMake, a framework for building software; MirNroff, an AT&T nroff based man page (and text document) formatter; MirCksum, a flexible checksumming and hash generation tool; and some more. kfvd Fri, 06 Jun 2008 17:12:15 GMT http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-selinux/?ca=dgr-lnxw07SELinux Linux has been described as one of the most secure operating systems available, but the National Security Agency (NSA) has taken Linux to the next level with the introduction of Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux). SELinux takes the existing GNU/Linux operating system and extends it with kernel and user-space modifications to make it bullet-proof. If you're running a 2.6 kernel today, you might be surprised to know that you're using SELinux right now! This article explores the ideas behind SELinux and how it's implemented. kfvd Fri, 06 Jun 2008 17:12:15 GMT
