Porteus

Good idea, but normally no one prepared to give you the time of day if you haven't already tried yourself. Looks like managed to get one going, so just waiting for s.o. to try the download.

(emphasis by me)

But you did: http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php? ... 737#p44711 aka http://www.seedpeer.me/details/11088721 ... ource.html
Therefore you can ask at one or both named places (aka Mint or MagOS; they both have a forum, or editable wiki, I presume... Mint does have a forum, I even am registered at that, but haven been on there in many years, never heard of MagOS prior reading your above posts, though) and you can refer to the above links (your forum.porteus.org post, and the .torrent at seedpeer.me)

What is linux-source-3.13.0_3.13.0-27.50_all.deb for, anyway, and why use a .deb and not a tgz?

^ We are in the midst of trying, and maybe we might succeed, all on our very own. 8) Tried to find a nice neutral file around 100M for a trial using find, which turned this up.

http://ftp.cc.uoc.gr/pub/dist/porteus/ gives me:

404 Not Found
nginx

or via wget:
