Smallfoot Derivatives

Whilst not based on any of the codebase of Smallfoot, Gazelle from GNU Solutions was the next Retail Hardened OS developed by Richards and in many ways represents what SCO Smallfoot could have been.

GNU Solutions was founded by Jack Richards, James Hall and Chinyanta Nkonkomalimba in 2003 to build the next generation Linux POS platform Gazelle (r), used in Budgens and Krispy Kreme in the EU, packaged with PCMS Vision Beanstore.

The Gazelle toolkit was a complete self-hosted environment that built a complete two-stage operating system from a TCL menu system. It was the first 2.6.0 commercially produced Linux operating system.

Gazelle is no longer sold or supported and GNU Solutions has been sold to a third party, its web site is still extant at but no longer provides support or sales to the public.
