The main page mentions that it uses Xfce.

Looks decent from the screenshots, I'm not in the mood right now to test out another distro though.

Anyone care to comment how it compares to Ubuntu? Are there some things it does better?

[hey_ian]

Yes I see it is really xfce.

Introducing

aquamorph version 0.4 has been released! Originally based on Morphix' Lightgui (http://morphix.org/), aquamorph is a complete, up-to-date environment, in which the user can comfortably browse, program and generally just do his work, while not having to worry about configuring and installing things. It features programs like Mozilla's Firefox browser and Thunderbird e-mail client, X-Chat for IRC chatting, Gaim version 2 for Instant Messaging, Abiword and Gnumeric for doing office work, Wireshark [formerly Ethereal] for doing forensic research, Graveman for burning CDs/DVDs etc. It also packages some nice fontS AND audio/video codecs. The Java 1.5 environment has been left out for space reasons, besides it still being non-Free.
So, what's the aim of aquamorph? First of all, it's intended to be a polished, intuitive GNU/Linux environment. This way you can impress people with the world outside microsoft's and apple's. The applications included are intended for daily tasks, forensics and fixing computers. A plus is that, when installed to hard disk, the user instantly has a usable environment.
Releases have been slow, but the aquamorph project has be set up to make the process of creating a new mainmodule and therefore a new cd image [.iso] a lot easier, and even scriptable [read: automated]. I'm able to create a completely up-to-date image in just a few commands now, so it will be up to Morphix (http://www.morphix.org/)' hosting to set the pace in which I can upload new versions. I think I'll release once a month, but of course that depends on my free time and Morphix (http://www.morphix.org/)' hosting.
Of course it's nice to hear from users, whether they are happy, or have some things to add. Please be welcome at the aquamorph forum (http://aquariusoft.org/forum/viewforum.php?id=4).
