MacZFS
The MacZFS page in this wiki:


 * outlines the development and testing of ZFS-OSX
 * complements the readme file at the ZFS-OSX page on GitHub
 * complements the MacZFS site.

Expect an eventual migration of at least some content to the MacZFS site.

Shortlist of live CDs, DVDs et cetera
… including rescue discs and the like.

The following list arises from discussions in IRC. From this draft we might draw a table to help people who seek a CD, DVD or USB flash drive at short notice – a rescue situation, for example.

(Beyond a draft: I don't imagine a complete set of information moving to the main distributions page. That's a very prominent main page – aim to keep it as tidy as possible for parade purposes.)

In alphabetical order:

Debian GNU/Linux ZFS Rescue Disc
