Last week, I have released Dotsch/UX 1.0. - Dotsch/UX is a Linux distribution for BOINC which easily installs and boot from a USB stick, hard disk and from diskless clients and also has some interfaces to setup the diskless server and the clients automatically. For more informations have a look at http://www.dotsch.de/Dotsch_UX |

Is this like what Ps3Grid has as an option for the PS3? Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected? If it makes sense, DON'T do it. |

Is this like what Ps3Grid has as an option for the PS3? It's a lot of more than the PS3Grid Live USB stick... Dotsch/UX can boot as the PS3Grid USB pen drive linux from USB, but it's also possible to install Dotsch/UX on a hard disk and also setup a diskless server and the diskless clients with the included tools easily. |

Does this run along with windows or is this a stand alone boot? Not sure by looking over your site. Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected? If it makes sense, DON'T do it. |

Does this run along with windows or is this a stand alone boot? Not sure by looking over your site. Seeing your screenshot, does this need to boot up seperatly like a dual-boot windows/linux or can it be added to run in addition to windows? I have numerous USB ports and a few 1GB+ thumb drives.

Does this run along with windows or is this a stand alone boot? Not sure by looking over your site. It's a dual boot with in a seperate Windows partition or on a seperate hard disk or from a USB stick. The install routines did not modify anything to your running windows installation on the hard disk, except to install the boot loader grub for the dual boot. I think that it make no sense from the view of the perfomance to let Linux ran within a virtual machine on Windows. The perfomance los due the overhead is to much. |
