Interview with Linux Journal Virtual Editor Bill Childers
,----[ Quote ]
| Carlie: You're the author of Billix, dubbed a
| "system administrator's swiss army knife". Tell
| us a bit about it.
|
| Bill: Billix actually came out of one of the
| hacking sessions Kyle started. We were working
| together and he was working on a PXE boot
| server for our server environment, and I had a
| need to have a version of that environment on a
| non-connected medium. I read the docs for
| SYSLINUX and PXELINUX, and realized that the
| stuff he'd done was directly connected to what
| I wanted to do. So I lifted his menu file
| (that's why I thank "greenfly" in the menu of
| Billix) and started modifying it to do what I
| wanted. So as a result, the world can thank
| Kyle Rankin for seeding the idea for Billix.

The USB finger guy adds his two bits
,----[ Quote ]
| Jerry Jalava's sci-fi finger became a Web sensation after a friend of his
| blogged about the creation, noting that the drive was loaded with a version
| of Linux.
|
| Jalava clarified the situation on his blog last night. For one thing, it's
| not permanent. For another, it's loaded with more than just the Billix
| version of Linux.
