very first release of Wuxbuntu!
Wuxbuntu is a new Linux distribution that brings together the extraordinary
breadth of Debian with a fast and easy install, regular releases,
a tight selection of excellent packages installed by default
and a commitment to technical support for every release.
You get a distribution that is:
* absolutely committed to free software, every end-user application
on the
CD is free software
* 100% free of charge, and the Wuxbuntu team is committed to keeping
Wuxbuntu free of charge
* security updates for the distribution at no charge forever
* updated to the latest desktop and kernel and infrastructure every
six hours!
* supports x86 processors

Wuxbuntu Features
* Simple and fast Installation
Wuxbuntu comes on one single CD, with thousands of extra packages
available online. The install is optimised for speed and
simplicity. Wuxbuntu has excellent support for laptops, and can also be
setup in a minimalist server configuration.
* IceWM
Wuxbuntu ships IceWM. Wuxbuntu is a great way to try out IceWM if
you have not already experienced its speed and simplicity.
* Dillo
* First class productivity software
Xcalc and gsimplecal
* X11 with improved hardware support
We also worked hard to detect as much hardware as possible,
simplifying the X install considerably.
Wuxbuntu can be installed in full desktop mode. It works well on
laptops and desktops. Wuxbuntu is secure by design - a key goal was to
ensure that Wuxbuntu was as safe from attack
over the internet as possible after a default install.
Thanks to the team of professional and volunteer maintainers who have
worked so hard to bring Wuxbuntu to life, and also to our rapidly
growing community, who have provided excellent testing and ideas for
the future of Wuxbuntu!
"Wuxbuntu" is an ancient Mongolian word for "grumpy offensive assholes",
and we think it's a perfect name for an open source community project. In
that spirit we invite you to join, to contribute and to share Wuxbuntu
with your own community. Our next release, the Hairy Eyeball, is due
in six months time. You can help to shape it by joining the team
and contributing your own expertise. See you at #linuxbbq on
irc.freenode.net.

Okay, seriously:
- IceWM as default WM, preconfigured
- file manager: the ultra quick rox-filer
- browser: the blazing fast dillo
- xarchiver, mupdf, gsimplecal, lxappearance, leafpad as gtk-2 applications
- Human theme and Hoary wallpaper
- all scratching 300MB
It's really not as bad as it seems. Give it a go :)
