What is SOLEIL ?

• In french, Soleil means Sun.

Ok, but what is SOLEIL ?!!?

• It's the core of a mobile network. In a few seconds, you can use your Pandora to:
  • act as a firewall/gateway/router
  • act as a PXE boot server to start simultaneously multiple x86 32 bits and 64 bits PC. Currently supported are:
    • Dynebolic, a Linux home studio for making music
    • System Rescue CD, a Gentoo-based Linux to repair filesystems, recover data etc.
    • GParted, a Debian-based Linux for partitioning and formatting hard drives, SSD, SD cards etc.
    • Ghost for Linux (G4L), a powerful hard drive clone/backup utility
    • MemTest, different versions of a RAM testing tool
    • Hardware Detection Tool, for quickly make an inventory of the booted PC's hardware
  • And the main feature is to act as a PXE boot server to start two persistent versions of Slackware, 32 bits and 64 bits
