I haven't heard much about it, but appears to be Knoppix with Sun's Looking Glass 3D GUI! Sounds pretty cool, and I like the Space Penguin logo too, but unfortunately I can't read Portugese. Spanish I could have handled.
Hello Crito
Biglinux is my distro of choice, due to its completeness and really easy of use.
It s the prime system I install in my route of saving people from windows.
Indeed, it is big, but filled exactly inside a little eeepc 701 whith no cut, leaving 500MB on its 4GB SSHD for data..
The eeepc701 spins the 3d cube smoothly, never asking to get rid of 3D to do something useful, even when the tasks include internet ,samba and nfs sharing that come as default.
Im a distro hopper, I plead, and after more than 5 inches of live cds, I mean, about 89 distros surrounding debian an slack and solaris, I allways come back to biglinux when I really want the job done.
I can tell you nothing i saw comes even close to what biginux do by default. But I didn't see it all.
Bad, it s Brasilian portuguese, and no translation in mind.
Bad, it s stranded on hardy heron.
But my humble experience brought me no good from upgrading to jaunty, not to mention to the buggy 802,11 n that turned almost all new netbook into wifi useless devices in linux - point to Gate$.
Shall i see some sign of a language pack for biglinux I will post here.
By the way, I m writing this into a new Eeepc 1000HA, under a lousy eeebuntu jaunty, with a D-Link wifi usb dongle helping the internal wifi card (812.11 "N"asty), because somebody didn t make the homework !
Back to biglinux in the next opportunity!
and si, io parlo portuguese, sono brasiliano
