carlos eduardo morimoto is the author of kurumin, a linux distribution based on knoppix. it was the most popular linux distribution in brazil. after almost ending the project, due to many complaints from users in his forums and technical problems, mostly caused by the fact that kurumin was based on debian unstable, which is not targeted to non-experienced users, and was the majority of kurumin users, morimoto improved it and it reached its success. in 2008, morimoto abandoned the project due to personal reasons.
