Based on Ubuntu originally, with as many CoDecs and browser plugins as 
possible on the DVD to provide seamless swap-over for windows fans as 
beginners to Linux.  I generally suggest it as the way to go for porn viewers 
that have been struck by windows viruses/Trojan's/worms/spy-ware/malware 
off "those" websites (those websites are probably the number one on-line 
source of nasties). Windows media files, full DVD and mp3 playback out of the 
box. Legality of the libraries that provide these functions generally prevent 
other distros from being so brazen and including them on the DVD.

Does what it says and generally does it well. I have three year old copies out 
there that people don't want me upgrading. I guess the pR0n directory is huge 
and embarrassing.
