Tux Hat Linux is an open source distro, a distribution of Linux, based on the award winning Debian GNU/Linux operating system and built around the minimal Fluxbox window manager.

It is distributed as a Live DVD ISO image that has been engineered to support only 64-bit (amd64) hardware platforms. Users can use Tux Hat Linux directly from a DVD or USB media, as well as to permanently install it on a local disk drive.

Default boot options include the ability to start the live environment with default boot options or in safe graphics mode, perform a system memory diagnostic test, as well as to boot an existing operating system from the first disk drive.

As mentioned the default and only desktop environment of this Debian-based operating system is Fluxbox, a minimal window manager that comprises of a single panel located on the upper side of the screen, from where the user can interact with running programs or cycle between virtual workspaces, and a system monitoring panel on the bottom edge of the screen.

Default applications include the Smxi scripts, Inxi, SpaceFM file manager, DeaDBeeF audio player, Iceweasel web browser, Vim and GTK Vim advanced text editors, Geany IDE, rxvt-unicode terminal emulator, Tmux terminal multiplexer, Midnight Commander two-pane file manager, File Roller archive manager, GParted partition editor, Irssi IRC client.

Summing up, Tux Hat Linux is a minimalistic distribution based on a rock-solid Debian base and geared towards geeks and command-line aficionados, as it features a very basic, yet fast window manager and a bunch of CLI tools.
