Platypux
Platypux was a French Linux distribution of the Slackware family, developed by Pierre-Aimé and Jacques-Olivier.
Despite Platypux being a Slackware derivative, it was built using the source code provided by the Linux From Scratch project (LFS) that enables the developers to learn the internal workings of a Linux-based system, in order to build a custom Linux distro, so it can naturally fit its intended audience and purposes.
Platypux V8.0 is only supported by x86 (32bits) platforms, both desktop and laptops, it is available for install from a live-DVD. Its kernel supports PAE in order to enable full access to RAM memory over the 4GiB limit.
Platypux has been developed using the source code from the Linux From Scratch project, but also counts on source code for BLFS (Beyond Linux From Scratch) and ALFS (Automated Linux From Scratch) Linux distros. The Linux kernel alongside the several preinstalled packages comprehend the Linux distribution.
Platypux is a pun of platypus and tux, the Linux mascot. A platypus is an exotic animal which despite being a mammal shares oviparity with amphibians an others, making it an exotic Linux distro with parts from "penguins", a GNU and other third party components.
Some of the preinstalled packages for Platypux V8.0 are:
