It is called Dream Linux. It is still in the RC1 stage but it is a very useful distribution. Everything is there that you expect and a few things that you don't. The default display manager is Xfce so it is very easy on resources. It has been customized so that it has a bottom dock like a Mac. Each icon zooms when you pass over them and it seems to work really well.
My biggest problem with it is that it didn't recognize my Nvidia controlled Ethernet port on my desktop and it wasn't able to configure the video on an old Dell that I have (an 1100 Inspiron). I am going to give it a shot on my Toshiba Satellite, but so far no Linux distribution has had any trouble with it. I will come back and edit this post when I have had a chance to test it on the Toshiba but it will likely be a glowing report then and maybe I can give you more details.
Stay tuned!
I am posting this from my Toshiba with Dream Linux running from the LiveCD. It does work very well, it detected my wireless card and it does everything any Linux user could need or want. It looks a lot like OS X in some respects but it is Linux. I am looking forward to the final release to see what else they add to it or possibly fix, if there is anything wrong with it. So far, I haven't found much.
If anyone who likes to try new versions of Linux would like to give it a shot, please do. It is a Debian based distribution so it is better than most out there except Ubuntu. Sorry, but I am partial to it. :)
Let me know what you think of it when you have tried it too.
