10 Facts About BeleniX

BeleniX is a discontinued operating system distribution built using the OpenSolaris source base.

BeleniX aims to have the latest stable revisions of most software, and packages are continuously pushed in the package repository with this aim in mind.

BeleniX is focused on using KDE for its desktop environment, although Xfce has been supported since the beginning of the distribution.

BeleniX thus is a first-class OpenSolaris development environment and is completely self-hosting.

Every package included in BeleniX is built on BeleniX itself, including the OpenSolaris kernel.
