Kuine Linux Sugar is a Kuine LInux with a fully operational SugarCRM Community Edition, the most popular tool in this category. It includes Apache and MySQL as backend.
Kuine is a family of distributions that meet one goal each of them. Ideal for emulating an appliance or to instantiate a virtual machine to meet a very specific need, such as a Database server or CRM or CMS. Right out of the box.
Bearing this in mind, we evaluated a big set of options including distributions and additional tools and at the end decided to use Debian as base distribution, Remastersys as the Live tool and Webmin as web administration tool.
At this moment the distribution is mostly in Spanish and because of its approach, is difficult to support multiple languages, but for sure it is going to be in English soon.
