- My collection of icons, in /usr/share/pixmaps, and an OSX garbage can.
- Mozilla 1.3.1, Firebird .6 and Galeon 1.3.4., Evolution 1.4
- Removal of most GTK1 applications.
- SVG icons by default, default theme is ximian Industrial, bluecurve is the default GTK2 themes.
- GTK2 shadow patch added.
- Redhat mouse cursors by default. (they rule)
- All video media associated to Totem, mplayer and xine are in as backups.
- Rhythmbox and gstreamer - try the internet radio part, xmms is included.

Ribnitz has made a iso that uses Xbroadcast and MainBareX, that broadcasts for XDMCP hosts. This makes setting up a network with one Xserver very easy to do a tutorial is available too:

The customised iso should be available soon on the files section on sf.net, however the idea was that only new main and minimodules will be available (otherwise we'd have to host every iso, a lot of space and sf.net is already getting a hammering because of morphix :)
Also, ribnitz made a Xterminal minimodule, for more of his work:

Razor123 is making a iso of extralightgui is like lightgui but smaller. It should be done in a about 4weeks, might have different gui's, not sure, also anyone who would like a package to be included, talk on irc.freenode.net in #morphix.
There is no website... yet.
There is a Morphix supporting Simplified Chinese, here is the link http://cosoft.org.cn/projects/cnmorphix/.
This version if Chinese Morphix is based on MorphixBase-0.4-1d, and get all the debian packages from offical debian unstable, which includes the gnome desktop, xfree4.3, openoffice, and fcitx input method.
Tablix on Morphix is a Morphix derivative with automatic cluster configuration. This means that all you need for a functioning PVM3 cluster is a bunch of computers and a pile of Tablix on Morphix CDs. You just have to boot the master node of the cluster from the CD, click a few options on the screen, then boot as many slave nodes as you want and click OK on each.
Tablix on Morphix comes preinstalled with all programs that are needed for solving timetable problems with Tablix, a GPL timetabling software using parallel genetic algorithm. It can also be used with any other software that runs on Debian GNU/Linux and supports PVM3 clusters. However that currently requires installing the appropriate debian packages on each node after booting from CD and/or modifying the ISO.
