Parsix GNU/Linux was a live-CD Linux distribution based on Debian. The Parsix project's goal was 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.[2] It was possible to install extra software packages from the project's own APT repositories.[3]

In 2017, the official website announced the shutdown of the project, and suggested users switch to Debian Stretch.[4]

Logo

The Parsix logo is inspired by stone flower carvings found in Persepolis.[5]

Usage

Parsix Linux was 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.

Versions

History

The first version of Parsix GNU/Linux was announced in February 2005 by Alan Baghumian.[6] Seeking a more stable platform, the project started using Debian testing branch as of version 0.85.[7] Starting with version 0.90, Parsix uses characters from the movie Happy Feet to name their releases.[8] The project's own APT repositories were launched in February 2008.[9] The multimedia repository, Wonderland, was launched in September 2010.[10] The Parsix project started to offer security updates for their stable and testing branches as of December 2010.[11]
