Ultimate Edition gives SourceForge the ultimate compliment
,----[ Quote ]
| Developer Glenn âTheeMahnâ Cady created the
| antecedent to Ultimate Edition in 2006, a
| version of Ubuntu with a Christmas theme
| that he called Ubuntu Christmas Edition. Its
| successor, Ubuntu Ultimate, drew an e-mail
| from Canonical, the organization behind
| Ubuntu, asking Cady not to use the Ubuntu
| name or logo because of trademark issues, so
| he changed the name to Ultimate Edition.
| Over time the distribution has grown in
| scope and power. While it caters to new
| users, it also bundles powerful tools for
| programming, as well as software called
| Ultamatix that allows users to easily
| install additional software and games.

WattOS â a lightweight, low-power Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| A lightweight Linux distribution often seems
| to require making sacrifices â using a UI
| which many users would find unfamiliar and
| using software which is heavily cut down in
| functionality.
|
| WattOS is a really interesting lightweight
| Linux distribution that is based on Ubuntu
| 10.04 (as of WattOS R2). As the name might
| suggest, it is also focused on low power
| usage and is said to work well with older
| and less powerful hardware.
|
| [...]
|
| If you are looking for a lightweight Linux,
| WattOS is most definitely worth a look.
