It seems to be based on Debian Etch, with some backports.org, contrib,
non-free and custom stuff mixed in, and a kernel from testing that has
since been dropped.
Specifically I stumbled upon the following:
msttcorefonts_1.8_all.deb
debian-backports-keyring_2007.06.10_all.deb
debian-multimedia-keyring_2007.02.14_all.deb
debian-unofficial-keyring_2008.02.15_all.deb
flashplayer-mozilla_9.0.115.0-0.1_i386.deb
libdvdcss2_1.2.9+debian-1duo+etch1_i386.deb
linux-image-2.6.22-14-686_2.6.22-14.46_i386.deb
linux-nonfree-modules-2.6.22-14-686_2.6.22-14.37_i386.deb
mec-artwork-kdm_2.2_i386.deb
mec-default-settings_2.14_all.deb
mec-desktop_2.12_all.deb
mec-usplash_1.1_i386.deb
Hmm - that last one seemed familiar to me, so I wondered that Thinnet in
Brazil solely claims coyright of the package. It seems to be a fork of
a Debian/Ubuntu package - and at least the manpage has copyright Matthew
Garrett (so Cc'ing him to make him aware).
More info on the mfull system here:
http://www.webeduc.mec.gov.br/linuxeducacional/index.php
Or perhaps somewhere here (the claimed copyright holders of mec-*
packages): http://www.thinnet.com.br/
