Parsix
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]
Logo
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.
