PelicanHPC was formerly known as ParallelKNOPPIX.Distribution Release: ParallelKNOPPIX 2.8 (DistroWatch.com News) PelicanHPC transitioned to its current name to better reflect its capabilities and focus on high-performance computing. The first version of PelicanHPC was released in 2008, and it has since evolved through several iterations. The latest stable release (version 6.1) was launched on September 11, 2025 and is based on Debian 13.1 (Trixie).
