Epidemic GNU/Linux是一份来自巴西的桌面Linux发行，它基于Debian GNU/Linux。其主要特色在于KDE桌面，易于使用的安装程序，包含CompizFusion的3D桌面特性，GFXBoot启动引导程序，对很多种私有及非自由内核驱动的即刻可用的支持，以及对各种多媒体编码解码器的支持。
The second beta release of Epidemic GNU/Linux 3.0, a Debian-based desktop distribution from Brazil, is now available for download and testing. Besides having fixed many of the bugs reported by beta testers, this build includes some important updates, such as: Linux kernel 2.6.26, KDE 4.2, OpenOffice.org 3.0 and Iceweasel 3.0; pre-configured Compiz Fusion; several new system administration modules, including Enetwork for network configuration, Easy Channel that provides a one-click method for installing proprietary device drivers, multimedia codecs and non-free software, and Ependrive which allows saving changes made during a live session to a USB storage device; various improvements to the Einstaller; dramatic reduction in boot times.
