Baltix GNU/Linux is an operating system for Lithuanian and Latvian people, based on Debian and Ubuntu[1]. The main language is Lithuanian.
It uses the GNOME desktop environment and is distributed as an installable Live CD.
The first public versions of Baltix GNU/Linux were released in 2003 and were based on Knoppix Live CD and Debian software packages,[2] and later, on the Morphix Live CD framework. Most recently, Ubuntu technology was chosen for Live CD. Despite of changes in startup and installation technologies, Baltix is always distributed as an installable Live CD with graphical installer[3].
Since 2007 separate Baltix CD/DVD images for home/business use, educational institutions (DVD version for "Science and Education"[4]) and servers are being released.
Baltix can run directly from its live-CD, without installation to a computer's permanent storage (hard disk, solid state drive, etc.), but also can be installed into a computer's Linux or Windows partition(s).
