 About Berry Linux
Berry Linux is a LiveCD distribution which is based on Fedora
and Knoppix.
It has support for
kernel-2.6, the overlay filesystem, and AIGLX, the 3D desktop, in
conjunction with Beryl. You can also install the distro to
your
hard disk if you wish, or boot it from USB. Other features
available include: Support for writing to NTFS partitions, automatic
recognition of USB storage, uses free Japanese TrueType fonts, and has
the ability to save personal settings. It can be used as a
Linux
demo, educational CD, or rescue system.
Berry Linux 0.88 uses Fedora's
Kudzu 1.2.71 and Klaus Knopper's hwdata 0.200 scripts for i386 hardware
detection, features symmetric multiprocessing support, and includes
ndev/udev and bootsplash patches. The mini version, the file system
only takes up 148MB of space, and uses fluxbox as the window manager,
keeping down the system requirements.
