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 at on the hard drive.

Origin

After the missing of Steven Watsky (maker of BeatrIX) the 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.

  • GNOME, a windowmanager
  • Mozilla Firefox, a webbrowser
  • Beep, a mediaplayer

  • Gnumeric, a spreadsheet program
