Last post by TheLinuxMan - December 19, 2025, 05:23:06 PMSmartOS is a specialized Type 1 Hypervisor platform based on illumos. It supports two types of virtualization:
OS Virtual Machines (Zones, Containers): A light-weight virtualization solution offering a complete and secure userland environment on a single global kernel, offering true bare metal performance and all the features illumos has, namely dynamic introspection via DTrace
Hardware Virtual Machines (KVM, Bhyve): A full virtualization solution for running a variety of guest OS's including Linux, Windows, *BSD, Plan9 and more
SmartOS is a "live OS", it is always booted via PXE, ISO, or USB Key and runs entirely from memory, allowing the local disks to be used entirely for hosting virtual machines without wasting disks for the root OS. This architecture has a variety of advantages including increased security, no need for patching, fast upgrades and recovery.
Virtualization in SmartOS builds on top of the foundational illumos technologies inherited from OpenSolaris, namely:
SmartOS is typically "installed" by downloading and copying the OS image onto a USB key and then booting that key. On the first boot a configuration utility will configure your base networking, allow you to set the root password, and allow you to select which disks to use to create the ZFS Zpool which will provide persistent storage.
When you log into SmartOS you will enter the hypervisor, aka "global zone". From here you can download VM Images using the imgadm tool, which are pre-configured Container and HVM virtual machines. You can then use the vmadm tool to create and manage both containers and hardware virtual machines.
An important aspect of SmartOS is that both OS (Zones) and hardware virtual machines are both built on Zones technology. In the case of OS virtualization, the guest virtual machine is provided with a complete userland environment on which to run applications directly. In the case of HVM virtualization, the qemu or bhyve process will run within a stripped down Zone. This offers a variety of advantages for administration, including a common method for managing resource controls, network interfaces, and administration. It also provides HVM guests with an additional layer of security and isolation not offered by other virtualization platforms.
Finally, instances are described in JSON. Both administrative tools, imgadm and vmadm, accept and return all data in JSON format. This provides a simple, consistent, and programmatic interface for creating and managing VM's.

Last post by TheLinuxMan - December 18, 2025, 05:59:46 PMLike a tent, you can carry Tails with you and use it anywhere.
Your secure computer anywhere
To use Tails, shut down the computer and start on your Tails USB stick instead of starting on Windows, macOS, or Linux.
You can temporarily turn your own computer into a secure machine. You can also stay safe while using the computer of somebody else.
Tails is a less than 2GB download and takes ½ hour to install. Tails can be installed on any USB stick of 8 GB minimum. Tails works on most computers less than 10 years old. You can start again on the other operating system after you shut down Tails.
You don't have to worry about the computer having viruses because Tails runs independently from the other operating system and never uses the hard disk. But, Tails cannot always protect you if you install it from a computer with viruses or if you use it on a computer with malicious hardware, like keyloggers.
Amnesia
Tails always starts from the same clean state and everything you do disappears automatically when you shut down Tails.
Without Tails, almost everything you do can leave traces on the computer:
On the contrary, Tails never writes anything to the hard disk and only runs from the memory of the computer. The memory is entirely deleted when you shutdown Tails, erasing all possible traces.
Persistent Storage
You can save some of your files and configuration in an encrypted Persistent Storage on the USB stick: your documents, your browser bookmarks, your emails, and even some additional software.
The Persistent Storage is optional and you always decide what is persistent. Everything else is amnesic.
Digital security toolbox
Tails includes a selection of applications to work on sensitive documents and communicate securely.
All the applications are ready-to-use and are configured with safe defaults to prevent mistakes.
Tails includes:
To prevent mistakes:
Applications are blocked automatically if they try to connect to the Internet without Tor.
Everything in the Persistent Storage is encrypted automatically.
Tails does not write anything to the hard disk. All the memory is deleted when shutting down.
Warnings: Tails is safe but not magic!
Tails is safer than any regular operating system. But Tails, or any software or operating system, cannot protect you from everything—even if they pretend to.
The recommendations below will keep you even safer, especially if you are at high risk.
Tails is designed to hide your identity.
But some of your activities could reveal your identity:
Tails uses the Tor network because it is the strongest and most popular network to protect from surveillance and censorship.

Last post by DEMONLORD - December 14, 2025, 03:10:57 PMOpenMediaVault is a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) solution based on Debian GNU/Linux. It contains services like SSH, (S)FTP, SMB/CIFS, DAAP media server, rsync, BitTorrent and many more. Thanks to a modular design it can be enhanced via plugins. OpenMediaVault is primarily designed to be used in home environments or small home offices, but is not limited to those scenarios. It is a simple and easy-to-use out-of-the-box solution that will allow everyone to install and administrate a Network-Attached Storage without deeper knowledge.

Last post by DEMONLORD - December 13, 2025, 12:33:41 PMSystemRescue is an Arch-based Linux system on a bootable CD-ROM or USB drive, designed for repairing a system and data after a crash. It also aims to provide an easy way to carry out administration tasks on a computer, such as creating and editing hard disk partitions. It contains many useful system utilities (GNU Parted, PartImage, FSTools) and some basic ones (editors, Midnight Commander, network tools). It aims to be very easy to use. The kernel of the system supports all of today's most important file systems, including ext2, ext3, ext4, ReiserFS, Reiser4FS, btrfs, XFS, JFS, VFAT, NTFS, ISO9660, as well as network file systems, such as Samba and NFS.

Last post by DEMONLORD - December 12, 2025, 01:35:01 PMThe Amnesic Incognito Live System (Tails) is a Debian-based live DVD/USB with the goal of providing complete Internet anonymity for the user. The product ships with several Internet applications, including web browser, IRC client, mail client and instant messenger, all pre-configured with security in mind and with all traffic anonymised. To achieve this, Incognito uses the Tor network to make Internet traffic very hard to trace.
