BeatrIX
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BeatrIX was a GNU/Linux operating system, in development up to 2005. A live CD based Linux distribution started by Steven Watsky, it was designed to look very simple, in order to be as accessible as possible to new users. The BeatrIX desktop had just four icons (e-mail, instant messaging, word processing and web browser).
BeatrIX was a small operating system, taking up only 200MB. The live CD fit into 80 mm discs (this form factor has also been called "CD3", since it is about three inches across).
BeatrIX used Linux 2.6.7 and GNOME 2.8 as its GUI desktop. It came equipped with productivity tools such as OpenOffice.org 1.1.2, Mozilla Firefox (version 1.0) web browser, Gaim (version 1.0), etc.

[edit] Successor projects: BeaFanatIX and Debris
Following BeatrIX's final release in 2005, a community release named BeaFanatIX (linking the project more closely to Debian and Ubuntu repositories) continued up until September 2007[1], when the project was renamed Debris Linux. The most recent stable release of Debris, numbered 1.0.4, was released on January 19, 2009; an alpha release of the prospective Debris 2.0, numbered 1.5, was released in December 2008.[2] The latest alpha release is Debris 1.6.2, released on March 06, 2009, 00:38:37[3]
