 | | Like a power tool with interchangeable bits, the core or main Morphix module can be married to any of several additional modules that are optimized for a specific purpose--heavy graphics use, gaming, a speedy LightGUI version for use on slower hardware, and more http://morphix.sourceforge.net/ modules/mydownloads/. |
 | | But unlike Knoppix, Morphix also can easily be installed onto a hard drive, avoiding the performance bottleneck of running the operating system from a CD; and also making it simpler to save custom configurations; or to assemble exactly the modules you want if none of the preconfigured versions suit your needs. |
 | | Knoppix and Morphix are both relatively new flavors of Linux, but SuSE http://www.suse.de/ us/index.html can trace its roots all the way back to 1992 when a group of German university students started the Society for Software and System Development (Gesellschaft fur Software- und System Entwicklung). |
