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 is and was always based on Debian GNU Linux. It is free and secure to use, no personal datas were taken nor uploaded to somewhere.

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.

Success

Gnoppix Linux is the perfect operating system for people who want a fast, reliable, and secure operating system that is also easy to use. Since 2023 we have a optional installation to hard disk, this isn't still fully supported.
