Project Description

Grml is a live system (live CD) based on Debian. It includes a collection of GNU/Linux software especially for system administrators and users of texttools. It provides automatic hardware detection and its default shell is the zsh. You can use it e.g. as a rescue system, for analyzing systems/networks, or as a working environment. It is not necessary to install anything to a hard disk; you don't even need a hard disk to run it. Due to on-the-fly decompression, it includes more than 2 GB of software and documentation on the CD.

This release has been refocused and now specializes in installation and recovery. It is released in one size (~350MB) for 32-bit and 64-bit. Thanks to the reduced ISO image size, the Grml project also offers a grml96 (32+64) ISO image featuring both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. One flavor, two architectures, and three options (grml32, grml64, and grml96). Linux kernel 3.1.6, UEFI support, VM support in grml-debootstrap, and new features in grml-live.
