Gaël Duval, co-founder and former developer of Mandrake (now Mandriva) Linux, has introduced the first test release of a new distribution derived from Debian and Ubuntu. Ulteo Linux sports a 2.6.15 kernel and KDE 3.5.2 desktop, and aims to introduce revolutionary concepts in managing and updating an OS and applications.

"Here is the first public version of Ulteo!," the France-based Duval said in the release notes. "Its codename is 'Sirius,' because we want to make it a star."

Gael Duval was sacked from Mandriva. Duval co-founded the company called Mandrake,
which introduced one of the best , easy to use Linux distro for all.
Ulteo Linux looks cool. It may very well catch up with the big-guns. We'll have to
wait & see.
