PLATYPUX is a French Linux operating system which allows you to take your works everywhere.
Why this name ??!! PLATYPUX is an assembly of word "Tux" (LINUX mascot) and Platypus.
The bizarre appearance of this egg-laying, venomous, duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed mammal baffled European naturalists when they first encountered it, with some considering it an elaborate fraud. It is one of the few venomous mammals; the male Platypus has a spur on the hind foot that delivers a venom capable of causing severe pain to humans(Wikipedia)
Why PLATYPUX so? With sources of LFS, BLFS, AUFS ..., and GMOs parts of some "penguins" and others, we have made a perfect GMO : a platypus.
