PorteuX

This blog post has a piece to say who was Beilby Porteus. He was bishop who fought the British against the slave trade in the West Indies.

Regarding the this distributions which I have tested in the past in 32 bit version shows how with minimum of resources one can run a functioning distribution. I tested the new  version of Chimera Gnome it is 1.6GB. What it means is evry distribution has its favorite application but Proteus provides the same functionality with one third of the resources. 

I think Chimera is BSD based (I stand to correction), if it is so thank YOU BSD. BSD was the one who broke the back of Booting Monopoly of Microsoft Windows. 

I used it to erase the traces of Microsoft in my laptop which I bought cheap in Singapore. It has figure of 8 boot virus still but I know how to live with it. My GUT FEELING is Microsoft itself used this virus to ruin the life of guys and girls pirated Microsoft Copyrights. In actual fact Microsoft own your computer and has a backdoor to spy on the user. Worse part is they share this information (this encryption ploy is to hoodwink the user) with security agencies. By the way, Apple guys also share your information. 

They are legally bound.

Linux can track the guys who is spying on. One need not use Parrot OS or Kali Linux or Tails. 

Debian can do that and I have used Debian for that purpose, in the past.

I am not a paranoid guy. 

Paranoia is a disease only the security guys with special training have. It cannot be treated but never marry one of these guys or girls.

I am telling YOU as a doctor in full retirement.

I use Linux as a hobby.

SAM Linux - 2007

Current Version is based on Proteus.

It is only 680MB and a CD version.

Tested it on Box and it has OpenOffice 4.1 of Apache which I was trying to install on Debian which I could not.

 It has a Virtual Box builder.

Really Good distributions.

 Old version

My live CD craze started with SAM 2007 and it went up to SAM 2009.

It is a derivative of PCLinuxOS and is based on Xfce.

My attempt at testing 100 live CDs would not have taken place,  if I did not come across SAM-2007 almost by accident.

 

All the credit goes to SAM and the Xfce. 

This was long before the my discovery of PCLinux.

It's last edition based on PCLinux was on August, 2009.

I waited long to I see the new edition in 2010 that is not to be yet and that will be a brand new edition and not based on PCLinux.

Unfortunately it is not going to be before I finish the 100.

SAM 2007 was the best live CD for me for quite a long time with games and lot of web utilities and that was the CD I used to demonstrate Linux (how easy to mount a live CD and configure internet cards).

I will edit this page when a new edition is on the horizon.
