Korora Project
Korora was born out of a desire to make Linux easier for new users, while still being useful for experts. The main goal of Korora was to provide a complete, easy-to-use system for general computing. Originally based on Gentoo Linux in 2005, Korora was re-born in 2010 as a Fedora Remix with tweaks and extras to make the system "just work" out of the box.

Stanislav Hoferek has announced the release of Greenie Linux 14.04.1, a Lubuntu-based desktop Linux distribution with special focus and tools designed for book writers: "Greenie, a Slovak/Czech distribution based on Ubuntu (okay, this time on Lubuntu) is back.
