What is SOLEIL ?

  • In french, Soleil means Sun.
  • SOLEIL is a Slackware operating system
  • The Pandora version of SOLEIL is based on SL4P, Slackware for Pandora, itself based on Slackware ARM.

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
    • a DNS server
    • a DHCP server
    • a NFS server
    • 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
