Caixa Mágica (English: "Magic Box") is a Portuguese Linux distribution based on Debian[2] and maintained by Caixa Mágica Software. It uses the .deb format. There are two editions: Desktop and Server.
History
This project was created in 2000 by Paulo Trezentos and Daniel Neves at ADETTI, a Portuguese research centre.
In 2004 there was a need to restructure the project because of the growth of the team and new challenges faced, so a spin-off of ADETTI was created, designated by "Caixa Mágica Software".[3]
Caixa Mágica used to be based on Mandriva Linux and used the RPM Package Manager, but version 16 started to be based on Debian.[2]
The "Magalhães" computers also included Caixa Mágica.[4]
