TurboVNC is a high-performance, enterprise-quality version of VNC based on TightVNC, TigerVNC, and X.org. It contains a variant of Tight encoding that is tuned for maximum performance and compression with 3D applications (VirtualGL), video, and other image-intensive workloads. TurboVNC, in combination with VirtualGL, provides a complete solution for remotely displaying 3D applications with interactive performance. TurboVNC's high-speed encoding methods have been adopted by TigerVNC and libvncserver, and TurboVNC is also compatible with any other TightVNC derivative. TurboVNC forked from TightVNC in 2004 and still covers all of the TightVNC 1.3.x features, but TurboVNC contains numerous feature enhancements and bug fixes relative to TightVNC, and it compresses 3D and video workloads much better than TightVNC while using generally only 5-20% of the CPU time of the latter. Using non-default settings, TurboVNC can also be made to compress 2D workloads as "tightly" as TightVNC.

m23 is a free software distribution system (license: GPL), that installs (via network, starting with partitioning and formatting) and administrates (updates, adds / removes software, adds / removes scripts) clients with Debian, (X/K)Ubuntu and LinuxMint. It is used for deployment of Linux clients in schools, institutions and enterprises. The m23 server is controlled via a web interface. A new m23 client can be installed easily in only three steps. Group functions and mass installation tools make managing a vast number of clients comfortable. The integration of existing clients (with .deb-based distributions) into the system is possible, too. Client backup and server backup are included to avoid data loss. With the integrated virtualisation software, m23 can create and manage virtual m23 clients, that run on real m23 clients or the m23 server. Scripts and software packages (for installation on clients) can be created directly from the m23 web interface.

RemoteBox is an open-source VirtualBox client which means you can remotely administer (ie over the network) an installation of VirtualBox on a server, including its guests and interact with them as if they were running locally. VirtualBox is installed on the server machine and RemoteBox runs on the client machine. RemoteBox provides a complete Gtk 3 graphical interface with a look and feel similar to that of VirtualBox's native GUI and supports the vast majority of features.

Detailed project description is available in the README file: http://vboxsvc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/vboxsvc/usr/share/doc/vboxsvc/README-vboxsvc.txt Discuss and get help in VirtualBox Forum thread "[Free as in beer] SMF service for VirtualBox VM's": https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=33249 A replica is hosted (and would likely be the HEAD of development soon) at https://github.com/jimklimov/vboxsvc See also https://github.com/jimklimov/vboxconfig_sh.git for tweaks needed to set up Oracle VirtualBox for Solaris packages (4.x, 5.0.x) on illumos hosts. For recent OpenIndiana and OmniOS (since 2019) there are packages provided by distributions, and these tweaks are not required then.

This project provides a full set of libraries to manage VMware Infrastructure and vSphere. 2.0+ includes a new Web Service engine much faster/smaller than Apach AXIS.

GaryOS is an entire GNU/Linux system in a single bootable file. It is also a Builder system to create and package Gentoo installations. Builder creates custom root filesystems that GaryOS can load into memory in place of its own. GaryOS can build new or updated versions of itself from within itself. Primary uses: * System rescue and recovery * Anonymous and secure workstation * GNU/Linux learning environment * Installation of Gentoo Unique advantages: * Source-based distributions are more flexible and powerful than binary ones * A single Kernel file is easier to manage and boot than an ISO image * GaryOS is stored on media as a resident of it, not the purpose of it No other GNU/Linux distribution takes the same approach or has the same features as GaryOS.
