Buildix

Buildix is simply a new Linux distribution that is based on KNOPPIX, which in turn is based on Debian. It's aimed at helping agile developers to get their projects up and running quickly and easily.

Buildix will get your Continuous Integration development environment up to speed quickly and easily. It's an Agile development platform on a disk, with best-of-breed Agile tools, pre-installed and configured on a KNOPPIX-based Linux distribution.

Buildix includes:

• Subversion for Source Control
• Trac for a Wiki, Bug-Tracker and general Project Management
• Cruise Control for Continuous Integration
• JDK 1.5
• Tomcat
• Apache

I've installed buildx on a Dual P2 400MHz, 14G HD, 320MB Ram box. This is what I had done to get it work on my old box.

1. boot the machine with the cd and login as root/root
2. run knoppix-installer (you will see an warning if you have less the 512MB Ram, simply ignores it)
   
3. create a primary bootable linux partition (remember to WRITE the changes to the disk)
   
4. create a logical linux swap partition (~ 2x RAM)
5. quite the installer
6. create the swap space manually by executing mkswap /dev/hda5 (must be the same as the swap space that you have created in step 4)
7. run knoppix-installer again.
8. choose Configure the installation
9. accept the default boot-loader location (MBR) and use the knoppix installation (don't use debian as it doesn't detect the network card)
10. finally, start the installation and you're ready to go !!
