Parsix GNU/Linux - A Gift from Ancient Persia
Parsix GNU/Linux is a new twist on an old theme. It is one of a number of remixes of the Kanotix/Knoppix line, but with some very interesting differences. First off is the fact that it is centered around, and tailored to users of Persian languages and keyboards, while also being very usable in English. The next big difference is that Parsix uses the Gnome desktop (2.12.2) instead of the standard KDE Desktop found in most of these remastered distros. But is there more to Parsix than just a different DE and language?
The answer to that question is a definite "yes".

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |

Parsix
This is by far the best distro I've used to date. It's just like Kanotix...but with the Gnome theme. Getting conected to the internet with WiFi in the home was a snap and automatically configured. I use my Ubuntu CD as a drink coaster now, as well as Mepis, Xandros and Knoppix (all the Debian Distros that are halfway decent with GUI packages). I keep Kanotix on another partition...just in case I need something from a KDE distro. I don't like command lines, and with Kanotix and Parsix I never need to open a terminal.
