'''Kuki Linux''' (pronounced "cookie") is a lightweight [[Ubuntu]]-based [[Linux]] distribution built to be a replacement for the [[Linpus Linux Lite]] distribution on the [[Acer Aspire One]]. Kuki's goals include working [[out of the box]], fast [[boot time]], low usage of [[solid-state drive|SSD]]/[[hard disk drive|HDD]] space, and inclusion of lightweight and functional programs for most daily tasks.<ref>http://www.kuki.me/about/</ref>

Kuki has several patches and fixes optimized for the Aspire One hardware, and the Kuki Linux kernel includes only the packages required for the [[Acer Aspire One]].<ref>http://www.aspireonekernel.com/#Introduction</ref> Kuki uses the [[Xfce]] window manager. 

Kuki Linux is available for download in the form of [[ISO image]]s, which can be used to create [[Live CD]]s or [[Live USB]]s. The latter can be created using [[UNetbootin]].<ref>http://www.kuki.me/2009/04/how-to-install-kuki-linux-prerelease-16-on-acer-aspire-one</ref>

==History and development==
João Ferro founded the project.

The first alpha was released on October 22, 2008.<ref>https://launchpad.net/kuki/+announcement/1276</ref>

Kuki 2.0 Alpha was available in January 2009. A mention in the [[DistroWatch]] newsletter<ref>http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20090126#waiting</ref> produced enough interest to crash the Kuki website.<ref>http://www.liliputing.com/2009/01/kuki-linux-custom-distro-for-the-acer-aspire-one.html</ref><ref>http://www.kuki.me/2009/02/welcome-to-kuki</ref>

Kuki 3.0 uses the term "pre-release" instead of "release candidate" because it was based on an (at the time) unstable release of Ubuntu to get the latest features for compatability with the Aspire One.<ref>http://www.kuki.me/2009/03/kuki-30-pre-release-16-just-about-out-of-the-oven</ref><ref>http://www.aspireonekernel.com/#Introduction</ref>

Version names are alliterative, like Ubuntu, but use the names of cookies. Version 3.0 is Crispy [[Cantucci#North_American_usage:_cantucci|Cantuccini]].<ref>http://www.kuki.me/2009/03/kuki-30-pre-release-16-just-about-out-of-the-oven</ref>
