On the development side, you can find Python and some HTML editors, such as Bluefish.If you are eager to install more software, there are two ways of getting it: via apt-get, or with Kokar, a companion CD for Kurumin that contains additional software specially prepackaged for the OS. With a single click you can install all of Kokar’s packages. If the included application’s don’t suit you, you can customize a Kokar CD with the software you might judge more useful.Kurumin users in need of support can visit Kurumin’s site or Web forums. Unfortunately, here is where Kurumin’s only major con shows up: the distro and its support is available only in Brazilian Portuguese.Kurumin shows all the virtues — and one flaw — that a local Linux distribution can have.
