Linoutrox is a minimal Linux distribution based on Debian.
It’s designed around a focused Openbox desktop, with a stripped-down environment that avoids the larger desktop stacks and preinstalls only a small set of essential applications. The distribution includes custom tools for day-to-day configuration, uses the standard Debian installer, and provides a live mode so users can test the system before installing it.
This is free and open source software.

What's a Linux distribution ("distro")? |
| A distro provides the user with a desktop environment, preloaded applications, and ways to update and maintain the system. Each distro makes different choices, deciding which open source projects to install and provides custom written programs. They can have different philosophies. Some distros are intended for desktop computers, some for servers without a graphical interface, and others for special uses. Because Linux is an open source operating system, combinations of software vary between Linux distros. |
