Please help me identify this Linux distribution

Hi!

I recently stumbled upon a netbook Linux distribution which where booting very fast but I somehow can't find it again. They had a link to a youtube video on the distros frontpage showing it boot in only 7 seconds (I think). It had a typical netbook interface with taps on the left for stuff like media, internet, etc. Immediately after boot it showed a internet connection tool making it easy to connect to a wireless network. I think the deafult color scheme was something with blue/black.

I've looked trough all the top 100 distros on distrowatch and I've been searching around the net but i can't find this distro. If someone know what distro it is I'd be very happy to hear it

MeeGo is the sucessor to Moblin and Maemo, it had one of the fastest boot times for Atom processors.  Ubuntu Netbook Remix and the variants (EasyPeasy, Eeebuntu, jolicloud) all have rather fast start times as well.  As for the quick network selector, that I'm not sure about.

Only ones I can think of that are Netbook Linux OSes:

Jolicloud, Ubuntu Netbook Remix (colour scheme is wrong though), Google Chrome OS (not really released yet), or MeeGo/Moblin.

Not Jolicloud either. It was looking a bit more "homemade" than Jolicloud and Xandros.

It isn't any of these either: Ubuntu Netbook Remix, EasyPeasy and MeeGo.

EDIT: I finally found the video I was talking about on YouTube. The distro is xPUD

Is it this? "XPud OS"

Found it by searching "7 second boot netbook linux" on youtube.

Yes. It's that one. I found it myself a few minutes after you did. But I've only just seen your post now. Thanks anyway!
