Santa Fe Linux

Santa Fe Desktop Linux was built following these design goals:

Make it familiar. Present the user a familiar interface where they don't 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. It will auto-detect the right drivers for your hardware and configure it all to the best of its abilities. No more troublesome driver installs. Santa Fe works best in Plug and Play and DHCP environments.
