Morphix - I'll be testing it soon


I've had a great deal of fun testing Knoppix 3.1 and 3.2, and I even wrote Knoppix 3.2 to my hard disk, even though it is primarily a Live CD Debian implementation of GNU/Linux software.

Morphix is an offshoot from Knoppix, so I'm looking forward to experimenting with it. My first experiments will be with the cut down light GUI version.

Anyone else also have experiences with Morphix that they'd care to discuss?

I'll be writing about my experiences some time soon I hope.

I've played around with morphix for a few months, I've done several hd installs. As far as hd installs the morphix kernel works with ext3 root filesystems properly (knoppix kernels I've used do not). I've done a small hd install with an older version of the Light-GUI it's nice, but it, just as knoppix is designed to be a live system, and because of that has some work-arounds necessary to have a system that completely functions the same as a debian install.

I use both knoppix and morphix at school when I need to make a win2k computer into something I enjoy ;-)

Mepis

Morphix is better than Knoppix in many ways including the fact that everything is in English. Another live CD I am testing out is Mepis www.mepis.org. It is good, but needs 128MB RAM to work; has a supplemental CD having a list of programs, but it doesn't work with apt-get.

It is based on KDE, has a graphical partition manager and the best HDD install of them all. If you want to dual boot and partition, this is probably the best?

It is an all American distro.

It is the least well supported of the three distros. But......
