Seti/Folding/Burn-in/benchmarking linux cd

[Finalnight]

Found a great customized Knoppix Linux Distro that runs from the cd and has seti@home, folding and also good burn testing/validation programs such as prime95 (great for oc-ers) and memtest86.

Nice, I personally like F.I.R.E
http://fire.dmzs.com/

Just the discription is nice

FIRE is a portable bootable cdrom based distribution with the goal of providing an immediate environment to perform forensic analysis, incident response, data recovery, virus scanning and vulnerability assessment.

Also provides necessary tools for live forensics/analysis on win32, sparc solaris and x86 linux hosts just by mounting the cdrom and using trusted static binaries available in /statbins.

Thanks! There are still a few problems with it (samba, and some little annoyances like tmp files I need to delete and permissions in one or two of the custom scripts), but its 99% functional. I'm pretty happy with the project right now. I've got a new version cooking on my hdd now. I'm adding F-prot scripts ( that download to ramdisk, install to ramdisk, mount partitions and scan for virii), and also lucifer, another burn-in app. I'm also going to improve the fluxbox and icewm menus. I've got a little space left on the CD to fill, so I'm taking requests for additions to the next release from those who try it out.

I'm booted from an Overclockix CD now- folding@home, browsing with opera, uploading files with ncftp, chatting on gaim and xchat.....

BTW, its not really a new distro per se, but a remastered version of Klaus Knopper's Knoppix 3.2. I highly recommend looking at knoppix.net if you need some info about how knoppix works and what it can do (cheatcodes for booting, hdd install, persistent /home in order to personalize it, etc.).

Oh yeah, knoppix 3.2 doesn't support nforce2 NIC's or the broadcom NIC's on some kt400 boards, but overclockix does. Just not the A7N8X deluxe NIC- I think that board has a gigabit network card onboard. It does seem to support conexant and some other winmodems, but I'm on broadband and haven't really tried anything in that dept....

I'm normally on overclockers.com, but you can post feedback here to and I'll read it.

I've made a whole lot of imporvements on this thing. A new iso will go up to the same link later tonight.

Fixed, finalized, and working great! I'll still accept add-in requests.

I'll put links to the different ISO's and a short description of them here: http://overclockix.octeams.com
