Parsix 3.0r2 review
Parsix is a Linux distribution based on Kanotix and Debian. It is purely a desktop-focused distribution. The last major release was Parsix 3.0r0 (aka Kev). This review is of Parsix 3.0r2, the second update release of Kev.
Installation – Parsix is the second distribution reviewed and listed on this site with a menu-type installer (the other one is Zenwalk). It’s not the most user-friendly and inituitive installer that you’ll ever come across.
Desktop – GNOME is the default desktop environment on Parsix. GNOME 2.26.3 is the latest version available on Parsix. (the latest version of GNOME available for download is GNOME 2.28). The default desktop background is as drab and as dull as I’ve come across. I think it’s worse than Ubuntu’s. If your computer has the necessary hardware for it, Compiz-Fusion, a 3D compositing window manager, will be configured out of the box.
