Santa Fe Desktop Linux is an easy to use desktop operating system. It puts some of the worlds best open source applications within the reach of non-technical users. It even runs right off the CD so you can try it without installing.
Santa Fe Desktop Linux was built following these design goals:
Make it familiar. Present the user a familiar interface where they dont have to guess which buttons do what.
Keep it small. The distribution should install and run from a single CD.
Make it useful to normal users. The distribution should be useful to a large non-technical audience.
Keep it fun. Make sure audio and video work to the best of their abilities so the users can play games and enjoy multimedia without hassle.
Leave the user alone. Hardware should always be automatically detected and configured without the users help. Software configuration should automatically have sane defaults.
Unlike other operating systems, Santa Fe is designed to automatically configure itself everytime it runs.
