I saw this openSUSE based distro a few years ago but didn’t pay it much attention. For some reason it caught my eye again a few days back. I began to look at the sparse information available. My findings, or lack thereof are below. One wonders why all the secrecy. Until I know the who and where I’m no longer interested.
The GeckoLinux Home Page is purposefully vague on who is behind it:
Who Are You?
I’ve used Linux on the desktop since approximately 2001. I have used many versions of openSUSE since the project’s inception, and I used SuSE Linux before that. I’ve always appreciated openSUSE’s flexibility and highly innovative infrastructure, but the profusion of “paper cuts” in the default configuration always made me think twice before recommending it to others. This projects sets out to change that.
