operating system primarily intended to offer theGNOME desktop environment on aLive CD , which allows the operating system to be used without installing it tohard disk .Gnoppix was inspired by
Knoppix , a Live CD distribution which usesKDE for its user interface. Both distributions are based onAdvanced Packaging Tool , designed forDebian . The name is a play on Knoppix but with a G in the tradition of naming GNOME apps with an initial G (to KDE's K).Although Gnoppix is intended to be used as Live CD it can also be installed to and booted from a hard disk. Gnoppix was originally built around its own customised Live CD environment; the last editions, however, were a rebranded and customised version of
Ubuntu .See also
