PlumpOS 6.9

PlumpOS is a CD-based mini-openMosix/Linux distribution. Pop the CD into a 586+ computer and you have an instant openMosix node. It supports loading 3rd-party packages and adding custom kernels. It was originally a clone of Clump/os, but it turned into a complete rewrite. Version 6.9 RC1 was released March 27, 2003. Version 7.0-pre3 was still in progress as of February 1, 2005.

Well, it appears the time has finally come: PlumpOS 6.9 Release Candidate 1 has been released to the world! Completely rebuilt from scratch, PlumpOS now sports a package loading system, cd auto-ejection, updated tools, and a slew of kernels to test (not to mention the new bootloader). Download the ISO from a PlumpOS mirror for a quick test run of PlumpOS or download the tarball to customize PlumpOS by adding 3rd-party packages and kernels (which, with a file size 7.5 times smaller, I highly recommend).
