Kanotix

Kanotix, also referred to as KANOTIX, is an operating system Live CD based on Debian, with advanced hardware detection.

It can run from an optical disc drive or other media i.e. USB-stick without using a hard disk drive.

Kanotix uses KDE Software Compilation as the default desktop environment.

Other window managers can be downloaded using APT.

The name "Kanotix" is derived from the founder's nickname "Kano".

Kanotix's mascot is a fangtooth.
