From the College Linux site:
Our Concept
The basic concept of CollegeLinux is to provide you with an alternative, user-friendly operating system and a way to learn more using linux. Whilst maintaining simplicity and a user friendly system, we want to introduce our users to more advanced features and why not, to maintain the "geek" side of linux by providing an excellent development environment.
The purpose of this distro is to provide an alternative. Not necessarily to replace XP and OSX... I think the primary goal here it to provide a friendly entry to Linux. You want a distro that is made to get converts, look at RedHat, Suse, and Mandrake. CL is designed for niche (as most linux distros are).
