Kuki Linux, pronounced Cookie is a lightweight [[Ubuntu]] based distribution. It was created to be a replacement for the [[Fedora]] based [[Linpus Linux]] distribution bundled with the Aspire One. It is build with the aim of being lightweight, fast, and being optimized for netbooks. Like [[Ubuntu]], Kuki Linux is [[free software]].

== Development goals ==

Kuki Linux was developed as a replacement for the bundled [[Linpus]] OS that was bundled with the Aspire One. it is being built so it has Backward compatibility with Ubuntu, is optimized to fully take advantage of the netbooks hardware, and to provide easy access to all users.

== Main characteristics ==

Kuki Linux's main idea is to give the user the ability of installing an Operating System that will be fully hardware compatible with the Acer Aspire One out of the box. Since Kuki Linux is currently in alpha, it is quite unstable.

It differs to [[Ubuntu]] in a lot of ways, one of the most notable being the inclusion of the [[XFCE]] desktop environment.

== Kuki Linux Custom Kernel ==

The Kuki Linux Kernel contains some driver modules that make it work better with the Acer Aspire one, allowing for a more [[out of the box]] experience.

== Kuki Linux Team ==

- Joao Ferro, also known as leak is the projects founder
