| License/Program Type: | GPL (GNU General Public License) |

Description:
Finnix is a self-contained, bootable Linux CD distribution
("LiveCD") for system administrators, based on Debian testing
"etch".
You can mount and manipulate hard drives and partitions,
monitor networks, rebuild boot records, install other operating
systems, and much more.
Finnix includes the latest technology for system
administrators, with Linux kernel 2.6, LVM2, encrypted partitions,
etc. And above all, Finnix is small; currently the entire
distribution is over 300MB, but is dynamically compressed into a
105MB bootable image.
Finnix is not intended for the average desktop user, and does
not include any desktops, productivity tools, or sound support, in
order to keep distribution size low.
Finnix is freely distributable under the terms of the GNU
General Public License.
Here are some key features of
"Finnix":
· Finnix is based on Debian "testing"; Knoppix is
based on Debian "unstable" and several other repositories.
· Finnix is available as a 105MB ISO; Knoppix is
available as a 700MB or 3.5GB ISO (CD/DVD editions).
· Knoppix includes XFree86 and many, many desktop and
productivity tools and games; Finnix does not.
· Finnix includes utilities not found in Knoppx, such as
LVM2, cryptsetup, cdpr, iftop, irssi, reiser4progs, an OTP
calculator, VLAN tools, and the essential robotfindskitten.
· Finnix includes a different Linux kernel than Knoppix;
as of this writing, 2.6.13.3 versus 2.6.12, respectively.
· Finnix uses an almost completely reworked initrd, a
compressed ROM filesystem with BusyBox; Knoppix's initrd uses a
compressed ext2 filesystem with statically compiled tools.
· Knoppix can be installed on a hard drive or use
floppies/USB keys for storing personal data; Finnix cannot.
· Finnix can be copied to RAM and run in only 256MB;
Knoppix requires at least 1GB.
· Knoppix is available in several languages and has an
impressive array of internationalization tools; Finnix is English
only.
Requirements:
· 586 or higher x86 CPU (will work on AMD64/EM64T CPUs
in 32-bit mode)
· 32MB RAM absolute minimum; 128MB recommended
· Standard ATAPI CDROM drive (many SCSI CDROM drives
will also work)
· Linux swap partition recommended, but not required
· Network card recommended, but not required
· At least 256MB RAM is required to run Finnix
completely within RAM.
What's New in This Release:
· Finnix 91.0 includes a new Linux kernel (2.6.24),
automatic 32-bit/64-bit detection on the x86 platform, stackable
RAID/LUKS/LVM detection and setup, and several bug fixes. If you
press 'enter' at the boot screen of Finnix 91.0 x86, the boot
loader will now detect if you have a 64-bit capable CPU, and will
load the appropriate kernel. You can still force 32-bit or 64-bit
by entering the 'finnix' or 'finnix64' boot profiles. While
RAID, LUKS (encryption) and LVM detection have been in Finnix for
awhile now, they were loaded in a certain order, and some
configurations were not detected as a result. With Finnix 91.0,
most configurations should be detected. For example, an encrypted
LVM set on top of two RAID disks should be set up
automatically.
