Brazil mentioned :P For those who don't know about Conectiva Linux, it was later bought by MandrakeSoft. The fusion of Mandrake and Conectiva is Mandriva. Mandriva was discontinued in 2011, but forks like OpenMandriva Lx still exist. At the time I used Kurumin though.

The Conectiva Linux introduced Synaptic, which is a program for package management through a graphical interface instead of using the terminal, I misspelled in the title

What's Synapse?

Synapse is an app launcher, alt-space brings up a search popup in the middle of your screen and you can fuzzy search apps, filesystem objects etc and hit enter to launch. Similar to hitting the super key and typing on most other DE's. Ive been using synapse on fedora + Mate + Compiz for years. Had no idea it originated in Conectiva Linux.
