The philosophy behind Zephix revolves around freedom. Taking into consideration web browsers as an example, why should one decide to use an operating system to then discover that it contains a preinstalled default web browser? With so many different web browsers available, the user must be free to choose which web browser to use.
By default, Zephix boots into a CLI interface (text mode). Any other software (GUI, drivers and applications) can be added using modules. By avoiding the inclusion of bloatware, Zephix requires less resources to run, making it also the ideal Linux distribution for old hardware.
