Both are based heavly on Debian.</p><p>Morphix is modular; this means that it consists of a number of parts which together form a working distribution. What does this mean to a normal user?</p><p>Well, that's the good part: he/she doesn't even know about the modules. The modularity is invisible to the user, save the startup-output on the console (which is hidden via a progress-screen in the latest releases). So, if you don't care about how it works, just grab one of the combined isos and boot it! The best thing is that these isos can be easily modified (Morphed) by you as you require.</p></div><div class="section" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2513482"></a>Why Morphix?
