BEERnix

BEERnix is a Linux distribution. It is a dirivitive of Knoppix. It runs straight off of a CD, but is also installable to a harddrive. IT IS CURRENTLY BETA, meaning it isn't perfect in anyway. There are thing i still wish to remove and add, and all sorts of other fun stuff.


Features of BEERnix- Runs off of a CD!
- Only about 400MB download!
- Unlike other mini-spawns of KNOPPIX, this has a full fledged Linux Kernel and XFree86 Enviroment!
- Fluxbox as a window manager for speed on the slowest computers!
- Abiword for word procesing (can read and write many formats including MS Word!)
- XMMS for all of your audio needs!
- Mplayer, with tons of codecs installed for maximum video!
- Mozilla-Firebird and Thunderbird, for fast web browsing and e-mail!
- Nmap-frontend, eathereal, ettercap and various other netowrk/auditing tools!
- a full development enviroment!(gcc, g++ perl, python, etc)
