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

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.

BeaFanatIX supplied following packages:

• GNOME, a windowmanager
