Distribution
Software Porters

MilaX is a small size Live CD distribution which runs completely off a CD or a USB pendrive. It is based on Solaris Nevada and includes its basic features. What originally started as an experiment to see how much Solaris software could fit on a miniCD eventually became a full-fledged OpenSolaris distribution.

MilaX can also be used like a Rescue-CD. It can be installed on storage media with small capacities, like bootable business cards, USB flash drives, various memory cards, and Zip drives.

MilaX is free to use, modify and distribute.

Status

The current version of MilaX is 0.3.1 (based on Nevada b89), released June 10, 2008.

The LiveCD requires at least 256MB RAM and a Pentium or Celeron to boot into a IceWM desktop. 128MB RAM is sufficient for booting into Command-Line mode.

MilaX currently includes the following software: Beaver, Gtk-Terminal, Vim, Netsurf, Sylpheed, Midnight Commander, emelFM, XMMS, Xpdf, VNC viewer, Rdesktop, Nmap, gFTP, gPicview, Conky, XChat, Xpad and other utilities.

MilaX server (non-GUI) version includes Apache, PHP, Samba and NFS servers, GCC, GMake, Midnight Commander, Pine, Mutt, Elinks, Lynx and other utilities.

A range of other utilities as well as all software required to make use of all the OpenSolaris specifics like dtrace, zfs, brandz and so on.

License

Like BeleniX, MilaX is released under the CDDL license version 1.
