Dream Linux is a Debian-based CD distribution currently offering easy remasters, an unusual (and very good) installer, a dock, and more. In the upcoming version, Dream Linux 3.0, the distro has been rewritten to eliminate ties to pieces of other distributions and be a purely Debian-based distribution. The more noticeable changes include the awn dock replacing the Engage dock (on computers that can support it), the choice between GNOME or Xfce, and improved support for wireless cards.

For those who like to run lots of distributions on their computers, Dream Linux’s installer might be their favorite feature. The installer presents all of the settings on a single page, so you can see what you are doing before you click install. (The partitioner is not very good yet, but hopefully this will be improved before 3.0 final comes out.) Even better, not only can you put the bootloader in the Dream Linux partition, you can even have the installer add an entry for Dream Linux in your existing bootloader.

If you want to make your own distribution, Dream Linux includes a GUI tool to make simple changes to Dream Linux and burn it back onto a CD. Although this can be done fairly easily with other distros as well, you might as well give this one a try and see if you like it more.

Since Dream Linux has just been rewritten, there may not be any huge changes in this upcoming release, but Dream Linux still has plenty to offer.
