The Parsix logo is inspired by stone flower carvings found in Persepolis.[5]

Receptions

DistroWatch Weekly reviewed Parsix 1.5r1 in 2008:[18]

Parsix is a nice solid little distro, but I'm finding it difficult to list one hard compelling reason why someone should switch to it. If you prefer the Persian language and keyboard, then Parsix is definitely for you. If you'd like a nice Debian derivative with a pretty GNOME desktop that works good, comes in one CD, and uses APT/Synaptic, then perhaps give Parsix a try.

LinuxBSDos wrote the review of Parsix 3.0r2:[19]

This is clearly a negative review, and at some level, I’m hoping that someone will prove to me that this review is completely off the mark. I’m waiting.
