Welcome to SLAMPP Live CD!

Introduction
SLAMPP is a generic Linux distribution that can boot directly from a CD-ROM, or optionally can be installed on a local hard drive. It is designed to be used as an "instant home server". Similar to other Linux LiveCD distributions, SLAMPP gives a user new to Linux the chance to experiment with a non-Windows operating system, without the risk of changing or re-configuring the user's existing system. SLAMPP comes with preconfigured tools and applications that allow a personal computer to function as a server. Can you imagine how handy it is to have and carry a linux live CD that provides all things you need to setup such kind of server?

What powers up SLAMPP?

SLAMPP is built using SLAX∞ as its base, and Slackware linux∞ for packages. This means you are going to have two powerful distros in one, although SLAX is also based on Slackware linux. To compile everything into a working live CD, linux live scripts∞ are used.

Features

• Turns a personal computer into an instant home server which provides support for common protocols, such as: HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, POP, IMAP, SMTP, SSH, DHCP, Squid, etc.
• Modularity. The ability to add additional tools and applications easily in the form of modules. Each new module will be integrated seamlessly during the booting process. Aside from all the modules provided in the Live CD, custom modules can be created. The tools to do this can be found on the Live CD.
• Webmasters and web developers can use SLAMPP to show their work to others. To support this feature special scripts have been provided in the LiveCD. They only need to burn all files onto the CD and SLAMPP will take care of the rest.
• Uses linux kernel 2.6 which provides better support for hardware.
• All setting and configuration changes made during use can be stored on the harddisk and restored for next session.
• Can be installed onto the harddisk to access the server permanently.
• Equipped with firewall, antivirus and content scanner.
• Uses slapt-get∞, Autopackage∞ and swaret∞ for package management tools and Xfce∞ as desktop environment.
