Belenix - Operating System

What is Belenix?
It is a Operating System on a CD which doesnt require any installation.

To put it other way for everyone to understand, Operating system Belenix is similiar to Windows 95 which everyone are aware of it. Earlier to use this operating system one has to install it in the hard disk. Thanks to the breakthrough, Belenix doesnt require any installation...just a CD is enough...set ...ready..go... you can start using the operating system.

I was surprised to know about Belenix - its a flavour of Open solaris which is now available in CD . It gives an opportunity to get a feel of solaris even without installing. It seems there are experiments going on to try it out in flash memory too. Important thing to be noted is that Belenix was developed by Bangalore Techies in their free time.
