Monoppix Preview (0.2.2.3) Release
Summary
Monoppix is a GNU/Linux distribution which includes Mono, XSP, and Monodevelop, and runs completely off a CD. It allows you to get familiar with Mono development in Linux without installing anything on your computer.
Monoppix was based on Knoppix and Miniknoppix and was developed by Roiy Zysman (zroiy at spymac dot com).
Disclaimers
- This is not an official release; it is a public preview intended for testing and feedback prior to the official release. [1]
- I'm a Linux lightweight. I've put a lot of time into testing and the XSP walkthrough, but there may be better or different ways of doing what I've listed. Please comment and I'll correct / update.
What is it?
Monoppix is a Live CD Linux distribution, which means you pop it in your CD drive, reboot, and you're running Linux. It works without installing a thing on your hard drive - it runs completely off the CD and RAM.
