Paldo stands for "pure adaptable linux distribution" and its developers say they want the distro to "just work" without a lot of user intervention. Instead of including several applications that all do essentially the same thing, developers have selected the a single app for each task and included only that one in the distro. Paldo also dones't split packages which means "all development files will be installed if you install a library. All files you need around a package will be available as soon as it is installed." Available packages include Abiword, MPlyer, KDE, and Amarock.
