Stuart Longland <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: Atomic Linux
System name: atomiclinux
Type: non-GNU

Description:
AtomicLinux (or Atomix) is a highly-customised GNU/Linux distribution aimed at 
end users with skills ranging from the computer illiterate to the computer 
expert.
It aims to implement the upcomming Linux 2.6 kernel and include some of the 
common drivers from nVidia, ATi and other companies (depending on licencing -- 
not sure if these are 'free software' or not) along with some of the lesser 
known systems such as the Zero-Install <http://zero-install.sf.net/> package 
management system.
Discussions of porting the 'ports' from FreeBSD has also be discussed and may 
be attempted by this project, with the aim of extending it to allow building 
from source or installing a prebuilt binary.
It'll be a minimalist GNU/Linux distribution, including the basic KDE & Gnome 
desktops, a few lightweight window managers & desktops, Mozilla, some instant 
messenger clients (Gaim, EB-Lite, Ayttm, etc), IRC clients (XChat, BitchX, 
KSirc, etc), OpenOffice, and other packages that would be useful for the home 
user.
It also aims to seemlessly roam between multiple networks, whether they be 
dynamically configured via DHCP/BOOTP/RARP or statically.
At this stage, there is no source code as yet, although it is likely that 
AtomicLinux will be based on Linux From Scratch 
<http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/>.


Other Software Required:
Typical base system packages:
