Debris linux
Debris Linux (previously BeaFanatIX, BFX) was a small Linux distro based on Ubuntu, Knoppix and Debian with GNOME as window manager. The ISO-file was about 200 MB in size and worked as a Live CD. It was also possible to install it on the hard drive.
Origin[edit]
In 2005 Steven Watsky (maker of BeatrIX) halted updates to BeatrIX due to his health deteriorating. As a result, the BeatrIX community fell apart. Stephan Emmerich wanted to continue the project, but since this was no longer possible with BeatrIX kon, he decided to make a new distro, based on BeatrIX, called BeaFanatIX. This was later renamed to Debris Linux.
Software[edit]
BeaFanatIX supplied following packages:
- GNOME, a windowmanager
- Mozilla Firefox, a webbrowser
- Beep, a mediaplayer
- AbiWord, a text processor which is compatible with Microsoft Office
- Gnumeric, a spreadsheet program
- Evolution, an e-mailclient
