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. Available for both x86 and SPARC platforms.

MilaX is free to use, modify and distribute.

Status

The current version is MilaX 0.4, based on Nevada b114 and released June 3 2009.

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

MilaX is fast distro (~20secs from GRUB to fully functional desktop after zfs installation).

License

MilaX is released under the CDDL license version 1.
