Its a bootable Knoppix CD, but with some added filesystem and network-monitoring tools. All games have been removed. It runs folding@home at startup, and also has seti@home and prime95 clients. I added dbench, memtest86, and hwtools for some hardware level utilities. There are a few dozen scripts to control all aspects of running the distributed computing clients. Samba is functional and easy to configure. Custom settings and even work units in progress can be saved to a pen drive, hard drive, network hard drive, or floppy. It can be installed to a hard drive in about 30 minutes supposedly by using the knoppix install script, and then it becomes Debian.
It's not quite finished, so no actual testing has been done yet, but I should be able to give a link to a temporary host for the iso file in the next two days for those of you who want to test drive it. And I might post some screen shots as well.
Known problems- broadcom NIC (integrated on some kt400 boards) and Nforce2 NIC's are not supported at this time. I will try to add those in a future version.
names-
I'm not sure what to call it. Originally I was going to call it- UberFoldix, UberCrunchix, and UberPrimix depending on how its used. Some other names...
Technix
DCLinux
Foldian, Crunchian, and Primian -again dependent on the user's preferred DC client.
