- Morphix
Morphix is a modular
operating system , based onKnoppix (which is in turn based onDebian ). Morphix uses theLive CD features of Knoppix, but it is more modular. Different modules can be combined on a CD for varying purposes, making Morphix a sort of Live CD construction kit. For example, a Morphix CD can contain a normal base system, but usesGNOME as thedesktop instead ofKDE . Other modules can be constructed for other specific purposes, such as a firewall, a rescue disk, a basicoffice suite , etc.Four sets of applications for Morphix are officially supported. These versions are mostly classified by their GUI, but each has its own set of applications:
*Morphix LightGUI comes with
Xfce 4 and tries to stay small enough to fit on amini-cd .*Morphix Game uses Xfce 4 but has a very large number of games on it instead of applications.
*Morphix KDE comes with, as the name implies, KDE, and comes with many KDE-only applications.
*Morphix GNOME, formerly Morphix HeavyGUI, comes with applications for advanced users.
:All versions of Morphix have a
hard disk installer .:There are also scripts to automate the creation of Morphix disks.As of
2008-01-01 , the current revision of Morphix is 0.4-1.The Morphix Live CD was used as the basis for
