SuperX Gnu/Linux
SuperX is a computer operating system based on Ubuntu and Debian GNU/Linux, using KDE as its user interface. SuperX features an unique layout of the GUI, to make using SuperX as easy as a mobile phone.
SuperX is a desktop-oriented computer operating system based on Ubuntu and Debian GNU/Linux, using the KDE desktop environment. It was originally developed in India by a teenager, Wrix who built it using free and open-source software. Today SuperX has many contributors most of them are in teenage and early 20s.
SuperX is highly modular and flexible with a desktop user interface especially designed with Linux beginners in mind. SuperX consists of a Linux kernel, components from the GNU project, KDE project and few components from GNOME project and many other components. SuperX focuses on simplicity and user-friendliness. SuperX comes with an out-of-the-box experience, automatically configured. The user can focus on his work rather than messing with complex underlying Linux system, trying to setup the ideal environment for his daily work.
SuperX comes with what is required for day-to-day activities and for unique purposes, additional applications can easily be installed. GUI configuration utilities are officially provided, and most system configuration is performed from the GUI itself and not by editing complex configuration files like many other Linux-based systems.
SuperX does not follow a release model, as of now. SuperX strives be to stable yet bleeding edge, and typically offers the latest stable versions of most applications.

History
SuperX was first developed in Guwahati, the capital city of Assam in India by Wrix when he was in eighth standard in K.V Maligaon high school in the year of 2007. Later after completing high school, Wrix dropped-out to complete SuperX, working alone day and night. Wrix hopes to continue his formal education as SuperX becomes sustainable.Its first formal release, SuperX v1, was on April 24, 2011. Although it was only made available to selected persons. Later on October 8, 2011, SuperX v1 was made available to the public as a free download. SuperX v1.1 "Cassini" is the 2nd release of SuperX.
Our Goals
- To make the most user-friendly desktop ever. We focus on the idea that a desktop system should be like a generic mobile phone, with fewer options in the front, but power house in the bottom.
- To translate to every possible language in the world so that people from any linguistic community is not left behind in the digital age. We focus on bringing young blood to open source.
- Motivate children and youth towards Open source. and Free Software. We believe that motivation is power, and a motivated person can do anything.
- Embracing KDE. We want to make SuperX the best KDE implementation ever!
Benefits
- To use SuperX as per needs, without any technical knowledge of the underlying Linux system.
- A fully-capable operating system.
- To study a component of SuperX, how it works and adapt it to your needs without any additional cost.
- To improve components of SuperX and release your improvements to the public, so that everyone benefits.
- No Digital Restrictions Management.
- To adapt Free and Open Source Software, without losing productivity.
- To learn and use SuperX in your own language; no foreign languages to learn for using SuperX.
Get in touch
SuperX is a fairly recent project. Compared to the larger giants, we are still small. And as such, we do have our own share of problems, bugs and faults. If you're faced with any errors while using SuperX, or just want to help us with your valuable suggestions (or constructive criticism).

Sabayon Linux

Sabayon Linux is based on the source-based distro named Gentoo. Gentoo is a highly customizable distro and, using Gentoo's excellent development techniques, we have created a pre-configured distribution with the tenets of Performance, Versatility, and Stability.

The Project
The Syslinux Project covers lightweight bootloaders for MS-DOS FAT filesystems (SYSLINUX), network booting (PXELINUX), bootable "El Torito" CD-ROMs (ISOLINUX), and Linux ext2/ext3/ext4 or btrfs filesystems (EXTLINUX). The project also includes MEMDISK, a tool to boot legacy operating systems (such as DOS) from nontraditional media; it is usually used in conjunction with PXELINUX and ISOLINUX.More info about SYSLINUX, PXELINUX, ISOLINUX, and EXTLINUX can be found on their respective pages; however, since the three have a lot in common, the common documentation is on the SYSLINUX page for now.
The Syslinux Project is now maintained in a public git repository. See Development for details.
There is a general mailing list that carries SYSLINUX announcements as well as discussion. If you have a problem it is a very good idea to browse the archives for information.
If you're interested in helping out with the SYSLINUX Project, please see the help wanted page, or just help out with the Wiki!
How to Create a Bootable USB: For Linux
STEP 0:Your motherboard (BIOS) has to support boot from usb (usb-key or usb-hdd).You don't need to know which of these types your media is though, your BIOS recognizes
the usb controller in the device, and this determines usb-key or usb-hdd type.
STEP 1:Download the latest copy of syslinux and extract it. Download.
STEP 2: Open a command prompt and cd to your 'syslinux/linux' folder. Run ./syslinux -i /dev/sdX1
replacing X with the device node of your media.
STEP 3:Ensure the usb drive is bootable. For that, we need a working MBR code and an active partition.
Open a command prompt and cd to your 'syslinux/mbr' folder. Run the following two commands,
replacing X with the device node of your usb drive:
dd conv=notrunc bs=440 count=1 if=mbr.bin of=/dev/sdXThis will write the syslinux mbr code (mbr.bin) into the master boot record of the drive,
parted /dev/sdX set 1 boot on
and mark first partition as active (bootable). For the second task, you can use fdisk or other
disk partitioning tools.
STEP 4: Copy a Linux kernel image (like vmlinuz) to the root (/dev/sdX1) of your media.
STEP 5: Lastly, create a 'syslinux.cfg' file in the root of your media (/dev/sdX1) and
enter any configuration options you need/want.
Unity Linux is 2012 Alpha
The developers at the Unity Linux project are pleased to announce a new alpha snapshot of the upcoming 2012 release in both 32 bit and 64 bit versions. This release is the first in a while due to the fact that we have migrated all our repositories over to utilize the Mandriva ones. Much work has gone on to make sure that Unity and Smart work with upstream repositories at Mandriva.
This ISO is based on Mandriva Cooker and we utilize our own repositories for packages not available upstream. As we noted in our previous Alpha release in 2011…we are aiming to provide JEOS (Just Enough Operating System) to give users a core to build upon. We’ve worked closely upstream with Mandriva to shrink down our ISO size and we’ve broken the 100MB barrier with this release which has a size of less than 100 MB.
This release comes in a command line only format (No X11) and can be installed with the command ‘cli-installer’.
Installation of a desktop environment can be accomplished by following the Unity Linux Getting Started Guide.
Changelog
The 2012 alpha 1 brings the following to Unity Linux core ISO:
- Kernel 3.2.7
- Revamped cli-installer
- GCC 4.6.3
- RPM 5.4.4
- mklivecd updated
- Moved to Systemd
- Overlayfs replaces aufs
- Perl 5.14.2
- Major DE and core updates as well as numerous package updates
Here’s what we’re working on for the full 2012 release:
- Switch from GDM to LightDM [IN WORK]
- Release a GUI version of Unity with Openbox [IN WORK]
The 2012 alpha 1 release is a snapshot release based on Mandriva Cooker. We have developed an in-house script (create-basesystem) to easily and reliably recreate snapshot ISOs of the Unity Linux package repository at anytime. The idea behind this is that using the create-basesystem script along with Unity metapackages one could easily recreate reliable and good branch ISO. Using <BRANCHNAME>-desktop metapackages would allow distribution developers to MAINTAIN A SINGLE RPM SPEC file to create their entire distribution. We aim to keep it simple.
