Parsix GNU/Linux is a live and installation DVD based on Debian. The Parsix project's goal is to provide a ready to use, easy to install, desktop and laptop optimized operating system based on Debian's testing branch and the latest stable release of GNOME desktop environment.[2] It is possible to install extra software packages from the projects's own APT repositories.[3] The Parsix DVD can be run from an optical disc drive or other media, e.g. a USB-stick, without using a hard disk drive. Initial versions of Parsix GNU/Linux were remastered using Kanotix. Parsix GNU/Linux comes with a desktop optimized, custom patched kernel. Parsix enables the "wonderland" repository by default.[1]

The Parsix logo is inspired by stone flower carvings found in Persepolis.[4]

Usage

Parsix GNU/Linux is designed to be used as a Live CD, Live USB, or installed operating system on a hard disk drive. Live mode is useful for operations such as data recovery or hard drive partitioning.[citation needed]

Versions

History

The first version of Parsix GNU/Linux was announced on February 2005 by Alan Baghumian.[5] Seeking a more stable platform, the project started using Debian testing branch as of version 0.85.[6] Starting with version 0.90, Parsix uses characters from the movie Happy Feet to name their releases.[7] The project's own APT repositories were launched on February 2008.[8] The multimedia repository, Wonderland, was launched on September 2010.[9] The Parsix project started to offer security updates for their stable and testing branches as of December 2010.[10]
