Government Linux
Kurumin Linux is another LiveCD Linux distribution which is based on Debian via Knoppix and Kanotix. Among the main features are the advanced hardware auto-detection, a known feature of Knoppix, Brazilian Portuguese language support and content, and, above everything else, ease of use. Amazingly enough, the first releases of Kurumin were small enough to fit on a mini-CD, but that goal was abandoned with the release of Kurumin 4.0, when larger packages such as OpenOffice.org and a Java Virtual Machine were included. As of release 7.0, the package is approximately 603 MB. Kurumin seems to be most popular in Brazil, where it is being used by the Brazilian Government.
