Jurix was an early GNU/Linux distribution created by Florian La Roche, a former employee of the legal department at Saarland University. The distribution was maintained between 1993 and 1999[1] and hosted on the now-defunct "jurix.jura.uni-sb.de" and "susix.jura.uni-sb.de" domains.
In 1996, Jurix superseded Slackware as a base for SuSE Linux.[2]
The name "Jurix" was borrowed from the department's first HTTP server, named by Alexander Sigel.[3] It is not known whether the name was taken from the nearby Dutch law and IT organisation JURIX, or simply a portmanteau of "Jura" (meaning "law" in German) and "Linux".
A readme from 1999 touts the following software, among others:[4]
- modularized kernel 2.0.37 and 2.2.10
- libc 5.4.46
- egcs 1.1.2
- ncurses 4.2-980822
- shadow passwords
- XFree86 3.3.3.1
