The Backpack Programmer's LiveCD

From LiveCDList

The Backpack Programmer's LiveCD is focused on programmers with many programming utilites (all of the gcc tools, xxgdb, Gnome header files, and more) included. It also aims to be a fully-operational, good-looking linux environment -- seriously, what programmer isn't a power-user?


Downloads and information are available at: http://daga.dyndns.org/projects/backpack/ screenshots are available too: http://daga.dyndns.org/images/backpack/


Here are some of the highlights of this live-cd:

  • Dropline-Gnome 2.14.1
  • Slackware 10.2 with the 2.6.16.16 Kernel
  • Internationalization with many languages and locales to choose from
  • Programming utilities include xxgdb, all of the GCC tools, Perl, Python, and Ruby
  • Menu-driven lauch of Apache, and SSH servers [and firewall modifications for them]
  • Games like SuperTux (http://supertux.berlios.de/), and Pingus (http://pingus.seul.org/) to take your mind off of programming for a while
  • All the other standards you would expect with a live-cd: sound, networking, auto-mount support and more.
