i found this trying to find some info on this "distro"

Sharat Lakshman contacted me yesterday. While talking to him, he said
he just modified the Knoppix distro to make slynux. He have renamed
lot of other packages also and given new interface.

He never wished, to claim that, he build a new OS (or distro). The
non-techy press reporter understood in that way. Poor boy just wished,
let his work get some publicity. That's all.

It is really good work in one way. That is a 15 year boy could do some
good work using a GNU/Linux distro. He wish other students get inspired
from his work, thus the GNU/Linux usage in schools may improve. (In
Kerala, in many schools, teachers skip the GNU/Linux portion of syllabus
saying that is not much important. This is because, the teachers are
not trained/aware of this OS)

We should give all support to this boy, understand him the concepts of
freedom, so that he can contribute more for the Free Software World.

Regards

so there it is.
