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] The Parsix DVD can be run from an optical disc drive or other media, e.g. a USB-stick, without using a hard disk drive. Initial versions of Parsix GNU/Linux were remastered using Kanotix. Parsix GNU/Linux comes with a desktop optimized, custom patched kernel. Parsix enables the "wonderland" repository by default,[4] which contains proprietary software.[5]
Logo
The Parsix logo is inspired by stone flower carvings found in Persepolis.[6]
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, hard drive partitioning, etc.

Wonderland) repository launched on September 2010.[11] The Parsix project started to offer security updates for their stable and testing branches as of December 2010.[12]
