SystemImager

"SystemImager is software which automates Linux installs, software distribution, and production deployment.

SystemImager makes it easy to do automated installs (clones), software distribution, content or data distribution, configuration changes, and operating system updates to your network of Linux machines. You can even update from one Linux release version to another!

It can also be used to ensure safe production deployments. By saving your current production image before updating to your new production image, you have a highly reliable contingency mechanism. If the new production enviroment is found to be flawed, simply roll-back to the last production image with a simple update command!

Some typical environments include: Internet server farms, database server farms, high performance clusters, computer labs, and corporate desktop environments."

OpenEmbedded

"OpenEmbedded is a full-featured development environment allowing users to target a wide variety of devices. Supporting multiple build, release paths and configurations, OpenEmbedded extends the capabilities of your build and release engineers. OpenEmbedded uses compilation and configuration caching at most levels to increase developer productivity. [...]

OpenEmbedded is a tool which allows developers to create a fully usable Linux base for various embedded systems. It has been designed to be able to handle different hardware architectures, support multiple releases for those architectures, and utilize tools for speeding up the process of recreating the base after changes have been made. Currently it can run on any Linux distribution, and plans are in place to allow it to work under Windows.

OpenEmbedded is the successor of the great OpenZaurus project. Basically OpenEmbedded is a build system that can generate (cross-compile) Software packages for embedded targets. This may include Bootloader, Linux and Applications. It started as a dream and BrainStorming, on how this could be done, and it's already used in real life."

HackyRemaster

"HackyRemaster is a script for remastering Puppy. It is not automated like AlienX's script, and it is not like Puppy Unleashed.

What this does is sets up an entire filesystem that you can go into and edit to your heart's content. It puts that filesystem inside a partition image (like pup001) so it can be saved on the harddrive even if you don't have linux partitions.

The script automates setting it up and putting it back togeather. It includes HackyPupBeGone, which makes removing the built in stuff easier. It also has a built in burning script that is mostly like Barry's BurnISO2CD script, but it also supports blanking CDRWs."

make_dvd.pl

"I got the original idea for these scripts from the article

http://www.linux.com/print.pl?sid=06/03/16/1724219

which referenced now unavailable site/script at nautopia.net

I did secure the copy of the "script" by using archived copies of the site, and while I liked the idea much, it consisted of distros that had little interest for me. Also it required the lot of manual work, as the main level "script" was just a wrapper for mkisofs(1)."
