Platypux was a French Linux distribution of the Slackware family, developed by Pierre-Aimé and Jacques-Olivier.
==History== Despite Platypux being a Slackware derivative, it was built using the source code provided by the Linux From Scratch project (LFS) that enables the developers to learn the internal workings of a Linux-based system, in order to build a custom Linux distro, so it can naturally fit on its intended audience and purposes.
