Robert Spiteri has announced the release of Zephix 7, a major new release from a project that develops a small, modular operating system based on Debian's "stable" branch. Zephix 7 is based on Debian 12 and it is available as a set of pre-built desktop modules with several popular desktop environments: "Zephix 7 was released with major enhancements. Updated base to Debian 12.1; heavily redesigned module creation and manipulation scripts; renamed scripts for better convention; added three new scripts - to create a custom core module, to merge two modules together and to extend swap space when building large modules; added the default behaviour to automatically move the newly created modules to the correct location; removed further unnecessary bloat from the final ISO image, reducing size to 380 MB; removed firmware module and instead included a tool named isenkram (this can be used with USB tethering to install required missing firmware)...."

About Zephix
|
Zephix is a live Linux operating system based on Debian's stable branch. It runs totally from removable media without touching any files stored on the user's system disk. The aim of Zephix is to provide a free modular operating system that users can carry with them and use wherever there is a laptop or a desktop system available. The default ISO image comes without any graphical interface, but several desktop modules are available separately, together with other various popular application modules. Users can also create their own modules using built-in scripts.

Distribution Release: Zephix 6 |
|
Zephix is a live Linux operating system based on Debian's stable branch. It runs totally from removable media without touching any files stored on the user's system disk. The project's latest version, Zephix 6, uses the same base and most of the same package versions as Zephix 5, but introduces several improvements to the boot process. "Fixed UEFI issue of not booting on specific systems and on latest VirtualBox. Updated base to Debian 11.6 adding corrections for security issues, along with a few adjustments for serious problems. Optimised the 'toram' boot option mechanism - to boot Zephix totally in memory, it now requires 1.5GB RAM (core, firmware and desktop modules) or 512MB RAM (core module only). Updated module creation and manipulation scripts making it much easier to create new modules without having to reboot the ISO after creating a single module and also reducing the size of each module accordingly (refer to the Customise section for more details). Updated desktop and firmware modules. Optimised boot sequence code for a cleaner and smoother boot process." Additional information is available on the distribution's about page. Download (MD5): Zephix-6R-20221226-x86_64.iso (1,243MB, pkglist). |

Distribution Release: Zephix 5 |
|
Zephix, a recent addition to DistroWatch, has been updated to version 5. Zephix is a live Linux distribution based on Debian's stable branch; its aim is to provide a free modular operating system that users can carry with them and use wherever there is a laptop or a desktop system available. Besides the main ISO image, the development team also provides various modules which can be added to the live image to extend its usability. The new Zephix 5 re-introduces the LXQt desktop and firmware modules directly into the live system and ads a "to RAM" boot option: "Zephix 5 has been released. Updated Syslinux and GRUB boot logos to reflect more the Zephix theme; added a 'to RAM' boot option - Zephix can now be loaded totally in memory (if enough RAM is available); changed the default console font; included the desktop and firmware modules by default in the ISO image to make it more usable - this decision was taken thanks to the feedback received from various users." Visit the distribution's About page which contains all the recent changelogs and several screenshots. Download: Zephix-5R-20220430-x86_64.iso (1,204MB, pkglist). |
