[commercial] mini distro for personal use

by Mayuresh Kathe

[sorry to have not added-in the "commercial" tag to my mail] anyone interested in building a mini linux distro? characteristics would be; 1. build a highly stable yet performant customized workstation-grade linux kernel, 2. layer it up with bionic, compiled for high performance and dynamic linking, 3. layer that up with only the non-graphical components of "plan 9 port", 4. add-in any other required components from third-party sources without bloat. 5. provide a safe environment, where-in accidental deletion of system files be impossible all scripts should be "rc" (p9p shell) scripts, including the init ones. this would be paid work and the developer would have the permission to take it public and maintain it as his/her own distro for wider consumption. the challenge is; 1. to make the whole installation fit in 8mb of disk space, 2. to have the whole distro (while installed on hdd) load-up and run from memory and save only state back to disk on shutdown. 3. to have a complete boot-up in less than 8 seconds. 4. to have a reliable on-disk storage setup. other factors to consider would be; 1. be non-live and installable off a usb disk, 2. have the ability to automount usb disks, 3. have nothing to do what-so-ever with other forms of storage other than the hdd and usb disks. i need the distro built for my workstation hardware and hence would want to see it have only the drivers required by my workstation paving the way for an easier path towards the goal of making the whole installation fit in only 8mb of hdd space. if anyone is interested in building this please ask me a ton of questions before sending in the quotation for the work. *and* please ask all questions except for the commercial part "on the list".

debian : kertex : packaging and maintenance

by Mayuresh Kathe

anyone here with debian package building skills be interested in developing a package for kertex (whole)? this "can be" paid work and i would need a quotation on the amount for not just building the package but also it's long term (10 years) maintenance. also, the package should be high quality enough to be accepted into the default debian repositories. do write back either off-list or on it. ~mayuresh

custom linux distribution : building : any takers?

by Mayuresh Kathe

hi, i need a custom linux distribution for personal (desktop) use. i currently lack the time to do it myself, hence this request to the list. please note, i haven't used the term 'gnu' because there won't be any 'gnu' tools used, though it will need to be built around the linux kernel. this "can be" paid work, but i can't offer large sums of money. :-) feel free to respond on or off-list. best, ~mayuresh
