Grml is a bootable live system (Live-CD) based on Debian. Grml includes a collection of GNU/Linux software especially for system administrators and users of texttools. Grml provides automatic hardware detection.You can use Grml (for example) as a rescue system, for analyzing systems/networks or as a working environment. It is not necessary to install anything to a harddisk; you don't even need a harddisk to run it. Due to on-the-fly decompression Grml includes about 2.1 GB of software and documentation on the CD.
Grml provides more than 2500 software packages. Excluding library stuff, more than 1700 packages remain. We don't ship KDE and OpenOffice, but more than 800 packages which for example Knoppix does not provide. You'll get sysadmin's favourite tools, security- and network-related software, data recovery- and forensic-tools, many editors, shells, and of course many texttools. Choose between different flavours (grml, grml-medium and grml-small) and a x86 and a amd64 version depending on your needs.
Grml provides several scripts and utils which make life easier. The default interactive shell is Zsh and is configured with a very powerful setup, including a nifty the completion mechanism. grml-x is a wrapper for configuring and using the X window system. grml2usb is a tool for installing grml ISO(s) on a usb device for booting. grml-crypt is a program that provides an easy wrapper arround cryptsetup, mkfs, losetup and mount. grml-live is a build framework based on FAI (Fully Automatic Installation) for generating a grml and Debian based Linux Live system (CD/ISO). grml-tips provides useful tips and tricks for daily life on the command line. grml-vpn is a program to establish encrypted communication channels in a network, and so on...
