Deep Freeze Linux Overview

About Deep Freeze

Deep  Freeze  Linux  provides  a  completely  non-restrictive  working  environment  where  there  is  no 

need to be concerned about system damage or corruption; a simple restart eradicates all changes and 

ensures that the standard system configuration is available at all times. All changes to a machine are 

temporary for that working session. The need for IT professionals to perform rebuilds, re-image, or 

troubleshoot computers is eliminated, resulting in a reduction in IT expenditures and an increase in 

computer uptime.

System Requirements

Deep Freeze Linux requires SLED (SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop) 10 with the ext2 or ext3 file system 

running on IDE and SATA hard drives, and the KDE or GNOME desktop environments.
The minimum hardware requirement is 128 MB RAM, 20GB hard drive, and a 1.5 GHz processor. 

Important Terminology

Frozen

 partition is completely restored to its exact original configuration and contents upon each 

restart of the machine.

Thawed

 partition functions normally, as if Deep Freeze was not installed.
