Aurox Live Generator is a tool for building your own operating system bootable directly from CD or DVD. This is the first OS in the world, which gives you a possibility of preparing customized iso images from www site. The OS is based on scripts prepared dynammically, which are downloading choosed software from network repositories.
First of all usage of generator is very simple. Even people who have never compiled kernel so far can build their own Linux distribution. Using scripts doesn't need to know anything about programming or configuring Linux system. It also doesn't need to know anything about Linux!

Cdlinux.pl is a LiveCD Linux distribution, a distribution that runs completely from CD. It is meant for beginners, people that are completely new to Linux. It's a very light distribution that wants to be fast and easy. This is accomplished by using a feather weight, less shiny window manager (IceWM) instead of more complicated and heavier one such as KDE. It comes with all the programs preconfigured that are needed for a beginner so he can start working right away. It's available in 2 flavours: mały (Small) and duży (Big). The Small version fits on a small 9cm CD and comes with everything necessary for Internet and multimedia usage: browsing, mailing, watching movies, playing MP3s, ... . The Big version also includes more advanced programs for office usage such as OpenOffice.org. But for both the focus is on programs that are useful for the user.

Sauver is a "Live CD", so no installation is required. The whole Operating System runs right off any removable media (USB or CD) , putting whatever system files it needs into RAM only. You simply start up your PC with the Sauver CD. It recognizes most of your devices, without having to take the trouble to install the drivers. Once you're done with Sauver, simply restart your PC. The CD will eject automatically and all will be exactly as it was before.
Imagine your System crashes and you want your data back but your operating system doesn't boot. You can't wait for your computer engineer to come and fix the problem. So what to do. Just put this CD and you get an GUI interface like your crashed system. And your data can easily be recovered.

Devil-Linux is a distribution which boots and runs completely from CDROM. The configuration can be saved to a floppy diskette or a USB pen drive. Devil Linux was originally intended to be a dedicated firewall/router but now Devil-Linux can also be used as a server for many applications. Attaching an optional hard drive is easy, and many network services are included in the distribution.
The system is designed to install without the use of a hard drive. It requires the use of a CDROM and a write-protected floppy. The CDROM provides the operating system, and the floppy provides the configuration information, via a tarball that is unpacked into the /etc directory. In this way, the system is fully configurable, yet the running system has no writeable device.

SabayonLinux is based on the source-based distro named Gentoo - http://gentoo.org. Gentoo is a highly customizable distro which we have used as our base and using their excellent development techniques, we have created a pre-configured distribution with the tenets of Performance, Versatility, and Stability. If you have any more question about what Gentoo is and its philosophy, please visit their website.
* Performance: We have modified make.conf to ensure that our distribution runs at the highest speed possible on newer computer hardware and fast on semi-older hardware. As such, our distrobution is not meant to be run on Pentium Pros, although it is entirely concievable.
* Versatility: Again, we have modifed make.conf to give nice wide range of features for all computers. We have also compiled the kernel to run well against most of the architectures out there while still leaving plenty of room for performance and, as always, the ability to change anything at your desire.
* Stability: While many would call the distrobution extremely experimental, we give options. You can boot up with xgl to have xgl autoset up and installed, or you can boot with gentoo legacy and have a very conservative system. Also, being built upon the strengths of Gentoo, you know you're getting a rock solid distribution worthy to slam with processor and ram intensive jobs while having the OS run smoothly.

Puppy Linux, started by Barry Kauler, is a small, fully featured Linux distribution. Puppy works swiftly on older systems and is a delight on modern computers including ThinPCs. Puppy boots to a familiar environment for ex-Windows users. Puppy is regularly updated, well supported and documented. Barry keeps in close contact with users and developers. If booting from CD, Puppy carries on working even after the CD is removed. Run Puppy from a flash card, or hard disk or USB keydrive/flash drive or a recordable CD/DVD, saving and updating your files on the CD-R or DVD-R. Puppy boots into as small as a 64MB ramdisk. Puppy runs from RAM memory with applications such as Mozilla Browser, AbiWord word processor, vector graphics, Gnumeric spreadsheet and a superior set of programs with more available as simple free downloads. Applications start in the blink of an eye and respond to users instantly. This is Linux the way it can be.

BackTrack is the result of the merging of two Innovative Penetration Testing live Linux distributions - Whax and Auditor.
Combining the best features from both distributions, and paying special attention to small details, this is probably the best version of either distributions to ever come out.
Based on SLAX (Slackware), BackTrack provides user modularity. This means the distribution can be easily customised by the user to include personal scripts, additional tools, customised kernels, etc.
