General information about Linux

• LinuxFoundation - is he organization of choice for the world's top developers and companies to build ecosystems that accelerate open technology development and commercial adoption.

• encyclopedia - virtual encyclopedia (Russian). A lot of references on many Linux topics compiled by many persons (Russian).

• Linux Links - The Linux Portal

• Linux Kernel Archives -- this is the primary site for the Linux kernel source, but it has much more than just Linux kernels.

• LinuxHQ -- kernels and related stuff

• Unix/Linux and GNU documentation Library (Many docs in Russian) server "UNIX & GNU Documentation Library" dedicated for free software and related topics.

• Linux/Unix /yoo'niks/ Plural "Unices". An interactive time-sharing operating system invented in 1969 by Ken Thompson after Bell Labs left the Multics project, originally so he could play games on his scavenged PDP-7. Dennis Ritchie, the inventor of C, is considered a co-author of the system. By 1991, Unix had become the most widely used multiuser general-purpose operating system in the world. Many people consider this the most important victory yet of hackerdom over industry opposition.

• Linux Online! -- a lot of info on Linux

• Linux-Online.RU -- lot of info on Linux including Russian pages, papers, news, etc.

• Linux Documentation Project -- free documentation on Linux

• LinuxCenter.ru is source of information about Linux (software, books, journals, and many additional info in Russian and English)

• LinuxLabs -- Linux Labs International is a hybrid engineering firm specializing in technologies that expand the field of high performance supercomputing.

• Linux Labs designs and builds high-performance supercomputers utilizing their proprietary OS Nimbus., optionally housing them in their own high-performance data center.

• The Linux Labs team is responsible for developing some of the most innovative Linux based technologies today and they remain on the forefront of secure operating systems, database development and search engine functions.

• CERN Linux pages -- the Linux page at CERN (one of the largest consumer of computing power under Linux)

• YoLinux Information Portal --  This Linux site is dedicated to providing tutorials, help, documentation, on-line training, guides and links for Linux users.

• Linux Reviews -- various reviews on Linux components

• linux.co.uk -- the portal for Linux in the UK

• LinuxDevCenter.Com -- large reposirory for the information about many Linux aspects (including clusters). Supported by O'Reilly

• LinuxQuestions.org -- Linux forum

• LinuxForums.org -- another Linux forum

• rpmSeek.com -- the search engine for Linux rpm and Debian packages (usuful to find rpm packages for your linux)

• LinuxTesting.ru -- the site for verification of the Linux

  • RTOS - RTOS, embedded operating systems, embedded Linux, DO-178B and tools for the most demanding real-time and embedded system applications...

    • LynxOS╝ Embedded RTOS.hard real-time operating system (RTOS) for ultra-reliable real-time systems.

    • LynxOS-SE RTOS.the first and only time-space partitioned RTOS offering POSIX and Linux application support for safety-critical real-time systems.

    • LynxOS-178 RTOS.the only POSIX╝-conformant, DO-178B certifiable RTOS, used extensively in military and aerospace real-time systems.

    • BlueCat╝ Embedded Linux.Linux OS enhanced for embedded systems ranging from small consumer-type devices to large-scale, multi-CPU systems.

Linux distributions

• BusyBox - combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete environment for any small or embedded system.

• Comparison of the linux distributions.

• DistroWatch - info about many distros

• Red Hat - most known Linux distribution

• Debian Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian uses the Linux kernel (the core of an operating system), but most of the basic OS tools come from the GNU project; hence the name GNU/Linux. Debian GNU/Linux provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 15490 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

• Scientific Linux Distribution has been created mainly by High Energy Physics people (https://www.scientificlinux.org/)

• ScientificLinux.RU This is Russian version for Scientific Linux (http://www.scientificlinux.org/)

  • and http://www.naulinux.ru/ Scientific Linux for Russia (in Rus)

• Gentoo Linux - interesting distribution, many professionals like it

• Slackware also well known Linux distribution

• Ubuntu - relatively new Linux distribution. Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! The Ubuntu community is built on the ideas enshrined in the Ubuntu Philosophy: that software should be available free of charge, that software tools should be usable by people in their local language and despite any disabilities, and that people should have the freedom to customise and alter their software in whatever way they see fit.

• SuSe now Novell and SUSE Linux are working together

  • ASPLinux Russian Linux distribution based on http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.ru.html

• AltLinux Another Russian Linux distribution

• Caldera Caldera is now part of SCO

• GRML -- grml is a bootable CD (Live-CD) originally based on Knoppix and Debian. grml includes a collection of GNU/Linux software especially for users of texttools and system administrators. grml provides automatic hardware detection. You can use grml for example as a rescue system, for analyzing systems/networks or as a working environment. It is not necessary to install anything to a harddisk, you don't even need a harddisk to run it. Due to on-the-fly decompression grml includes about 2.1 GiB of software and documentation on the CD. As grml is an open source project you don't have to pay anything to use grm.
