[distribution-discuss] MilaX now part a project in Opensolaris.org and MilaX 0.3 released

[Michal Bielicki]

The Opensolaris based mini distribution MilaX is now a project in  
OpenSolaris.org. Take a look at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/milax 
.

MilaX is a small size Live CD distribution which runs completely off a  
CD or a USB pendrive. It is based on Solaris Nevada and includes its  
basic features. What originally started as an experiment to see how  
much Solaris software could fit on a miniCD eventually became a full- 
fledged OpenSolaris distribution.

MilaX can also be used like a Rescue-CD. It can be installed on  
storage media with small capacities, like bootable business cards, USB  
flash drives, various memory cards, and Zip drives.

MilaX is free to use, modify and distribute. The initial goal was to  
make it as similar as possible to Damn Small Linux, so some programs  
where moved and some mini programs added.

If you would like to join the Project, just let us know o the  
distribution-discuss mailing list.


MilaX 0.3 released

Netsurf, gFtp, Sylpheed, gPicview, new Beaver, Torsmo, fbxkb were  
added, removed Dillo and aterm. ZFSinstall now included, /sbin/sh  
linked to ksh93.
