Levinux – A Tiny Version of Linux for Education

Levinux (download ~20 MB) is a tiny virtual Linux server that runs from USB or Dropbox with a double-click (no install or admin rights required) on Macs, Windows or Linux PCs—making it the perfect learning environment, and way to run & keep your code safe for life! Think of it as an introduction to old-skool “short stack” development—more relevant now then ever as Linux/Unix gets embedded into everything.... More Info »

What I propose…

Even if you never programmed before, I propose starting teaching you how to do it “old skool” within minutes reading this. Download and double-click the Levinux file, and follow the instructions. It could expand your abilities and alter your life. My approach is at odds with today’s paralyzing array of tool-choice — and that is precisely why it will give you an edge over the competition. In short, I propose you take up the “core technologies” that lurk underneath everything, instead of the more heavyweight modern software fads. This will let you achieve greater mastery over a smaller set of timeless and infinitely useful tools. They will serve you for the rest of your life, and even if they don’t become your main thing, it will always be like always having the Swiss Army Knife of information tech in your pocket… though there is also no reason you couldn’t build an empire on it.

Levinux was added by kzaks in Aug 2014 and the latest update was made in Jun 2019. The list of alternatives was updated Dec 2019. It's possible to update the information on Levinux or report it as discontinued, duplicated or spam.

What does Levinux look like?

When you double-click the launch script, a black window that looks much like this will pop up. The first time you run Levinux, it will “inflate” by hitting a software repository to pull down a webserver and an SSH server. You need an Internet connection and not-too-restrictive firewall for this to work correctly.
