Parsix Linux 2.0
The Parsix Desktop & Apps
Since Parsix uses Gnome you’ll feel right at home if you’re a Gnome person. The desktop comes with wallpaper of a rather attractive orange-ish flower. I am not sure if this some kind of Iranian flower or something. It’s not clear what it’s supposed to be or if there if there is some kind of symbolism to it. It may just be a pretty flower but after doing my last review for ET about Ubuntu Satanic Edition, I’m seeing potential symbolism everywhere. Heh, heh.
In terms of apps, Parsix provides a pretty good range and you can also install more if you want. Here’s a list of some of what you’ll find with this distribution:
Gnome FTP Client
Gwget Download Manager
Iceweasel Web Browser
Pidgin IM
Transmission BitTorrent Client
XChat IRC
Firestarter Firewall
Balsa Email Client
Liferea Feed Reader
OpenOffice.org
The Gimp
VLC Media Player
Exaile Music Player
Brasero Disc Burner
TV Viewer
Grisbi Accounting
Problems & Headaches
The install problem aside, I didn’t notice any other issues while running Parsix as a Live CD. The performance was fine running in VMWare and I had no problems connecting to my network or otherwise just generally using this distribution. I encountered no bugs with the Live CD and had no problems running any of the included apps.

Wow. So nobody had a comment about Parsix Linux?
Jim, I had always heard good things about Parsix. You may remember Melloe from WAY back. He tried it out not too long ago and had very good results – he has all kinds of hardware from his days running “The Club”. Anyway, I’ve tried it once or twice over the years, but since it is GNOME based and I prefer KDE and XFCE, and also since I already have a good collection of Debian based distributions, I passed on this one. I do have reason to believe that installing it through convention means would be likely to achieve different and more positive results.
