Parsix GNU/Linux 8.10r0 Has Been Released
Parsix GNU/Linux is a live and installation DVD based on Debian. Our goal is to provide a ready to use and easy to install desktop and laptop optimized operating system based on Debian's stable branch and the latest stable release of GNOME desktop environment. Users can easily install extra software packages from Parsix APT repositories. Our annual release cycle consists of two major and four minor versions. We have our own software repositories and build servers to build and provide all the necessary updates and missing features in Debian stable branch.
Parsix Project is started to name our releases after characters of the movie Happy Feet since version 0.90 released on June 17, 2007 codename "Barry"
