Zeroshell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zeroshell is a small Linux distribution for servers and embedded systems which aims to provide network services. As its name implies, you don't need to use a shell (computing) to administer and configure Zeroshell, because you can use a web based Graphical user interface. Zeroshell is available as Live CD and CompactFlash images, and VMware virtual machines.
