Dreamlinux is a Brazilian Linux distribution based on Debian. It can boot as a live CD, from USB flash drive, or can be installed on a computer's internal hard drive.
The distribution's GUI has a strong similarity to that of Apple's Mac OS X, with a centered toolbar made animated by downloading the "Engage" theme.
[edit] Editions
[edit] Dreamlinux 2.2 MM GL Edition (2007)
DreamLinux Multimedia Edition 2.2 with AIGLX provides Beryl-AIGLX by default, which can be utilized after the initial installation. One of its key features is its ability to configure AIGLX for NVIDIA and ATI cards automatically.
[edit] Dreamlinux 3.0 (2008)
Dreamlinux Desktop Edition 3.0 features a complete redesign and is the current version of the distro. It now supports a totally independent architecture named Flexiboost, based on overlaid modules. The feature allows the co-existence of two (or more) separate window managers (currently Gnome and Xfce), sharing the same customized appearance. Both working environment share all the applications available.
In addition to the 700MB iso file (CD image), a 130MB Multimedia Module is also available, including DVD support. This is primarily intended for use when running from USB flash drive, rather than from live-CD mode.
