Kororaa Linux 15 released

Several weeks ago, I put Kororaa 14 “Nemo” through its paces and liked it a lot. Chris Smart and his colleages at Kororaa do a great job in producing a distro based on Fedora, and Smart announced last week the release of Kororaa Linux 15 “Squirt.”

Based on the Fedora 15 release, Squirt features both KDE SC 4.6 and GNOME 3 desktop environments (as well as including a desktop switcher for GNOME 3, so that users can switch between the new Shell interface and the 2.x style Fallback mode), and it is available for download for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.

Squirt highlights include:

Customized GNOME 3 desktop environment

Customized KDE SC 4.6 desktop environment

Default browser: Mozilla Firefox 6

Out-of-the-box multimedia support

VLC as default video player

Extra repositories for installing Adobe Flash Player, Google Chrome, RPMFusion and VirtualBox

Gwibber and Choqok microblogging clients

Adobe Flash Player installer

Jockey Device Driver Manager to easily install Nvidia and ATI video drivers

Shell and Fallback desktops switcher for GNOME 3

OpenShot and Kdenlive video editors

SELinux enabled

Linphone VoIP client (for the KDE edition)
