Contributors

HospitalityMachine

HospitalityMachine is a  remastered versions of PCLinuxOS, which is based on Linux. These are Open Source projects and deserve recognition.

• Texstar - he developed, configured and supplied the world with PCLinuxOS.

• Gaël Duval - founder of Mandrake Linux on which PCLinuxOS was based.

• Marc Ewing - founder of Red Hat on which Mandrake was based.

• Linus Torvalds - for writing the kernel (engine) of Linux.

• Richard Stallman - for writing GNU operating system, creating the GPL and the free software movement.

• Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson - for their work on Unix and the language C.

• Mathias Ettrich - for creating KDE, the user interface of PCLinuxOS we all use daily.    

Modifications to HospitalityMachine include contributions from:

• Icons: “Nuovola 1.0”, David Vignoli, www.icon-king.co (Truly gorgeous icon set)

• Theme: “Embassy”, Parsten Schlipf, www.yeap.de/blog/ (Beautiful desktop theme)

• Splash: “KDEWheat”, Wassi Dassi, www.kde-look.org (Nice 'Processing' screen)

• Logon Screen: "K.D.E.", ~Lzfy , www.deviantart.com (Nice Logon screen)

HospitalityMachineKiosk

HospitalityMachineKiosk versions 1.0 and 1.2 have only been VERY lightly modified by me. They are based on KioskCD and Booth Box, which in turn are based on Damn Small Linux, which is based on Knoppix. Original author of KioskCD is:

• McCasland Internet 2005, www.kioskcd.com (The base image plus the customising kit are VERY  useful!)

Original author of BoothCD/BoothBox is:

• David Collie http://boothbox.sourceforge.net/

Original author of Knoppix (upon which both of the above are based upon) is:

• Klaus Knopper, http://www.knopper.net/knoppix (The inventor of Knoppix!)

Thank you, one and all!

However, HospitalityMachineKiosk v2.0 is a true remaster, and like HospitalityMachine, it is based on PCLinuxOS.  As a result the contributed material is the same as HospitalityMachine (above).
