24: * **Small OpenSolaris Live Distro**
25: **Alexander Eremin, Saint-Petersburg, Russian Federation, Second Prize: $6,000**
26:  MilaX is a minimal live distribution which runs completely off a CD or flash memory device. It is based on OpenSolaris and includes the same basic features found in Solaris Express Community Edition. As a result, MilaX can be used as a "Rescue CD." MilaX seeks to be small enough to be installed on various embedded devices, limited size media (such as CD business cards, etc.), and other resource-constrained platforms as these are not targeted by existing OpenSolaris distributions today, while maintaining core OS functionality. MilaX is free to use, modify and distribute.

29: * **RAM based boot for BeleniX 0.7**
30: **Shampavman Chengeri, Bangalore, India, Second Prize: $6,000**
31:  This project is aimed at providing a RAM based boot for BeleniX. This means, during boot time the compressed HSFS filesystems are directly copied onto the RAM from the CD and all subsequent operations are executed from RAM. This naturally reduces the subsequent launch time of applications significantly. Since BeleniX comes bundled with KDE as well, most of the heavy applications that have huge lauch times are now reduced to seconds. This also means that BeleniX (which is ~3.5G) installs in 10 minutes, which typically used to take 30 minutes. This is a staggering improvement of ~65%. Secondly, it gives the user a privilege of using his own disks and work on it without having to install an operating system just for this purpose!
