It seems to be based on Debian Etch, with some backports.org, contrib, non-free and custom stuff mixed in, and a kernel from testing that has since been dropped. Specifically I stumbled upon the following: msttcorefonts_1.8_all.deb debian-backports-keyring_2007.06.10_all.deb debian-multimedia-keyring_2007.02.14_all.deb debian-unofficial-keyring_2008.02.15_all.deb flashplayer-mozilla_9.0.115.0-0.1_i386.deb libdvdcss2_1.2.9+debian-1duo+etch1_i386.deb linux-image-2.6.22-14-686_2.6.22-14.46_i386.deb linux-nonfree-modules-2.6.22-14-686_2.6.22-14.37_i386.deb mec-artwork-kdm_2.2_i386.deb mec-default-settings_2.14_all.deb mec-desktop_2.12_all.deb mec-usplash_1.1_i386.deb Hmm - that last one seemed familiar to me, so I wondered that Thinnet in Brazil solely claims coyright of the package. It seems to be a fork of a Debian/Ubuntu package - and at least the manpage has copyright Matthew Garrett (so Cc'ing him to make him aware).
