About Gnoppix
Gnoppix Linux since 2002
Gnoppix Linux was developed in September 2002 and was based on Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (Woody).
After the successful public launch of Gnoppix in 2003, Gnoppix Lead Andreas Müller was hired by Canonical to implement Gnoppix Linux LiveCD functionality into the 1st Ubuntu 4.10 aka Warty in 2004. Since Ubuntu and Gnoppix Linux became identical, the Gnoppix Project was stopped, as there was no longer a need for it. Andreas then founded the Kubuntu Project.
COVID-19
Gnoppix Linux was relaunched in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Gnoppix was before 2025 based on Debian GNU Linux. It is still free and the most secure way to use, no personal datas were taken nor uploaded to somewhere. See our Services
Key Features
Gnoppix can be run from a DVD, USB thumb drive or from a local drive. It can resume previous sessions while running in a live mode. The distribution attempts to clean up after itself, removing all traces of its use from the computer or used media.
Gnoppix 2025
Gnoppix switched to pure Arch Linux in Jan. 2025 from Debian to optimize workflows. Arch Linux is an independently developed Linux distribution that strives to provide the latest stable versions of most software by following a rolling-release model.
