Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.

Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

I like it a lot.
You can really learn much from it: Plus: there´s a good user manual available and the support
by the creator of peropesis is great.
I contacted him on a few occasions and he was very friendly and helpful.

He once commented:
"Unfortunate, that peropesis is live type OS, not a hard disc-writable system, because everything we change on it disappears when computer is turned off."

Well, that´s true of course but I think nobody would be trying to use this OS as a production system.
It´s mainly for learning and as such I think the author has done a great job.

Many greetings
Rosika :-)

No reviews already and no messages on the forum? Nobody talks about it? Peropesis linux is a great operating system that is under 100MB. That is amazing for people who like to use a GUI-less operaing sytem that is less than 100MB, for those USB with low small capacity is great!
I like it! What I they should include a screen sizing so it can not just a small screen size.
It works well on old computers and no GUI but whatever.

This is great for GUI-less operating system lovers! Except viewing images doesn't work on here. You need GUI

Good operating system nobody talks about. Wow the toast shines pancakes!
