FOR WINDOWS USERS WHO WANT TO JUMP TO LINUX EASILY/PAINLESSLY WITH A FAST BOOTING USB FLASH DRIVE. LATEST VERSION AT www.grub4usb.com A simplified "FAMILY TREE"/"Ancestor" perspective: www.grub4usb.com for more. Introduction (from http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/) GRANDPA: GRUB is a Multiboot boot loader. It was derived from GRUB, the GRand Unified Bootloader, originally by Erich Stefan Boleyn. DAD: GRUB4DOS made it easier for Windows/DOS users, but was still unreliable; the boot record was difficult to install for average users. GRUB4USB was developed to automate the installation of the correct 446 bytes to the boot sector, providing Windows Users with a bootable USB Flash Drive which could contain any flavor of Linux (or other OS). IDIOT PROOF: GRUB4USB is "AUTOMATIC AND HANDS FREE". Simply insert USB Flash Drives, they're detected, the boot record is installed with a Linux distribution to quickly create functional, bootable USB Flash Drives; aka LIVE USB.

biosconfig is a flexible tool to automate CMOS non-volatile store parameter modification.

The bootd project allows netbooting a wide variety of clients using different protocols using one configuration and one server daemon, with good configurability and diagnostics.

Depinit is an alternative init program that can handle parallel execution, dependencies, true roll-back, pipelines, improved signaling and unmounting filesystems on shutdown. It incorporates ideas from sysvinit, simpleinit, daemontools and make. At present, it is a bit experimental, and requires good knowledge of the initialisation process to set up.

Open source utility to (re)program flash BIOS chips. Initial support will be for the i-opener network appliance under Qnx since there is an immediate need.

serel is software that helps computers boot faster. serel adds synchronisation and integrity-checking to the operating system service startup phase, allowing a computer's services to start in parallel.
