JayOS – a live Linux distribution based on Linux From Scratch.
This project uses GNU makefiles and Bash shell scripts to automate the building of a complete Linux distribution. All of its components are built from source. The result is a turnkey solution to creating a compact, highly-customizable operating system.
JayOS includes a lot of standard network security and filesystem tools, along with a full-blown development environment with many programming tools and libraries including gcc, gdb, ddd, perl, gtk, tcl/tk, php, ruby, python, qt3/4, and glade-3. See the package list for details.
A small footprint lets it run well on commodity hardware, but it can be configured to use extra RAM to run entirely from memory. And for the security-conscious among us, it offers in-RAM filesystem encryption with plausible deniability to provide a more secure mobile workstation.
The project was active between 2005 and 2012.
