Development Hiatus and Restart
On November 7, 2007, Smart announced that development on Kororaa would be ended, and no further versions would be released; reasons given were that
- Sabayon Linux already serves a purpose as a binary Gentoo distribution
- Gentoo already comes with a GUI installer
- Compiz is already installed on most desktop distributions by default
- Kororaa couldn't compete with other distributions which include non-free drivers by default.
- the weight of the project was too much for a single developer.
On December 23, 2010, Smart announced the restart of Kororaa with a release of the Fedora-based version of the distro: ""I know that you'll be looking for something Linux related to do over your Christmas holidays and New Year, so I've just released the first installable live DVD beta for testing. The final release will be Kororaa 14 (derived from Fedora 14), code-named 'Nemo'. As with the original Kororaa, it's based on KDE. Essentially, Kororaa has been reborn as a Fedora remix, inspired by Rahul Sundaram's Omega GNOME remix. It aims to provide all general computing uses out of the box and it aims to include software packages that most users will want."
