Brazilian distro



It has an excellent Brazilian distribution based on Debian (testing) and Knoppix and not listed at children-distros. It is aimed to desktop machines, strongly localized in Brazilian portuguese and has excellent support to the hardware most widely sold in Brazil, "wintrashes" included. It's called "Kurumin Linux" and a live CD can be found in http://www.guiadohardware.net/kurumin/index.php#download (scroll down the page a little to see the mirrors). The project's main page is http://www.guiadohardware.net/kurumin/. Unfortunately this site is in portuguese only but, in the cdrom's root directory, it has instructions to localize the distro for english language.

In time: the name "Kurumin" comes from the word "kuru'mi", what means "boy" in Tupy (one of the South America's natives languages).

I hope to have been useful.

Best regards,
