"Dreamlinux Desktop Edition 3.0 is a complete redesign of the distro, now supporting a totally independent architecture named Flexiboost, based on overlaid modules..." -- via http://distrowatch.com/?newsid=04820

The Dreamlinux project, a Brazilian distribution based on Debian, Knoppix, and Morphix, today announced the release of a Multimedia GL edition of Dreamlinux 2.2. This live CD with a graphical hard disk installation option boots directly into an XFce desktop and features a 2.6.18.1 kernel and moderate-sized application package.

So today I downloaded the latest edition of DreamLinux http://www.dreamlinux.com.br/. The last time I played with DreamLinux was around 8 months back and was really disappointed as it failed even to boot on my machine.

I have been distro hopping a lot in recent times. I was testing a lot of the less known Linuxes but never came across one that had no big problem. Of course, Dreamlinux is a fairly popular Linux distro.

Just getting Dreamlinux Installed or running in anything but a VM has been a nightmare. It kernel panicked when booting from a flashdrive, and installation failed repeatedly.

Dreamlinux is a Debian-based distribution that offers you a choice of GNOME or Xfce window managers as well as an extremely simple installation and scripts to install popular programs not found in the Debian repositories. With included programs for communication, graphics, and music, plus OpenOffice.org, it covers most general desktop needs, and installation and configuration are a breeze.

Dreamlinux is excellent for laptop users who only have wireless internet and want to run a Linux Live CD. It's also a dream-come-true for Linux beginners who don't want to or can't install the drivers.

In today’s article we review a fresh version of Dreamlinux, a linux distribution that promises to be good-looking, lightweight yet fully featured, with useful extras available out of the box - making it an attractive package for new users.

If you have not heard about Pear Linux, it is a relatively new community project that publishes several versions of Linux desktop distributions.

There is a standard desktop edition, a netbook edition, and a KDE edition. The KDE edition is in first beta. This article presents a review of the standard desktop edition.
