I could not find an "English" button. :confused:

If I can get it in English, I will try it this evening.

It caught my eye too. From LQ Screenshots it looks like a blue-ish themed Ubuntu with Beryl, some game console emulators, and from [url=""]Google's translation (http://shots.linuxquestions.org/?linux_distribution_sm=UBERYL%20Alpha) of the UBERYL blog page, it seems like they've included a number of handy little applications such as "swacanner" (never heard of it, and neither has Google) for wifi scanning, hotway for pop3 access to a hotmail account, Brasero, Aquamarine, Heliodor & Emerald for Beryl, and a few other little tweaks.

In all, everytime I see one of these crop up, I think about how great it would be if Ubuntu took after SuSe and made it possible to create your own "version" of Ubuntu, based on a "snapshot" of your currently installed applications and the settings files. I'd like to be able to load someone else's Ubuntu and see what they've done, and then roll back to mine.

I'll stop talking about it now, or I'll be tempted to start yet another code project... :(

Is that simply Ubuntu+Beryl? If so, then yes I have tried and it worked pretty well :)
