A review of BeatrIX Linux
Dec. 10, 2004

LinuxTimes.net editor Preston St. Pierre reviews BeatrIX, a "Live CD" Linux distribution based on Knoppix and Ubuntu packages. BeatriX is a small, fast desktop environment "built for the average Windows user / Linux convert wannabe," he says.

"I noticed BeatrIX on DistroWatch a few weeks ago, and the looks of it interested me," the author writes. "I've always liked Debian-based distributions, and BeatrIX was curiously different from many of them I've tried so far. I found that it met my expectations, though there was certainly room for improvement."

"The download for BeatrIX will be appealing to those with slower connections or bandwidth limits: A mere 200 megabytes. When compared with modern five-CD distributions, BeatrIX is less than one fifteenth of the size. It only took me six minutes to download, and half that to burn. I had the CD in my hand within fifteen minutes of deciding to try it . . ."
