Pinguy OS
Pinguy OS is a free computer operating system (a Linux distribution) for x86-based PCs, based on Ubuntu Linux.

General info 
Pinguy OS is an Ubuntu-based distribution with many applications and tweaks installed by default. Such software includes ZRam and Preload.

According to Distrowatch.com Pinguy OS "features numerous user-friendly enhancements, out-of-the-box support for multimedia codecs and browser plugins, a heavily tweaked GNOME user interface with enhanced menus, panels and dockbars, and a careful selection of popular desktop applications for many common computing tasks."

Although the distribution comes with many pre-installed applications, browser plugins, multimedia codecs and system utilities, many users could perceive this as unnecessary bloat, given that Ubuntu and many of its descendants come with a lot of useful software as well, without retaining a large memory and storage footprint.
