A new version of Arabbix, a Morphix-based live CD with support for Arabic (as well as English) is under development: "Arabbix 0.9 Alpha1 is Available for download. This version is based on a much improved base with better hardware detection and functional hard disk installers." From the release notes: "This release is not for production nor distribution on a large scale due to incompleteness. Please download this image and test it on your machine, I am particularly interested in testing the HD installer tools, Arabic localisation effort, missing applications, or any requests needed." Visit Arabeyes.org for further information about the project. Download: arabbix_0.9_alpha1.iso (589MB).

| About Arabbix
|
| Arabbix, based on Debian and KNOPPIX, was the world's first Arabic live CD (run-from-CD) distribution that showcased Arabeyes' and others' accomplishments and results - it included most of the applications an Arab user might require or need. Arabbix was not only intended to attract new users and to cement the virtues of open source and Linux as a fully functional Arabic desktop medium, but is also hoped that it will engrave into people's hearts and minds.
