PPC-Zone (website) Pegasos: New Linux "LiveCD" Niktarix
Nick Niktaris has created another Linux "LiveCD" called nektarix for the Pegasos (ODW) (screenshots).

Compounds of Knoppix, Kanotix and Debian Sarge were used; beside the kernel 2.6.11 there is also KDE 3.3.2, UnionFS, Mozilla/Firefox, Open Office and GIMP.

UnionFS, which takes some time during the boot up process, offers a workflow as if the machine was booted from a hard disk - one may install or remove .deb files.

The V0.03 is the first public version, which may contain some serious bugs and not all planned features are integrated yet.

Open Firmware call:
boot cd niktarix root=/dev/ram rw init=linuxrc

MD5 checksum:
