While browsing the Internet, I stumbled upon an article mentioning Yubox as a South American Linux distribution.

I still remember when I was part of this project that aimed to maintain a desktop Linux distribution. Nostalgia…

If I remember correctly, we started development in 2004 and in 2006 we decided to abandon the project due to poor local adoption. Back then, many people still saw Linux as taboo… Fortunately, part of that experience helped give birth to Elastix.

I'll leave you with the image I found in that article, which by the way is this one: http://www.logalia.net/Megapost-Distros-Hispanas_333445.aspx

At least Yubox will be part of history… and after all, for 2005, it didn't look bad at all, right?

Later on, in 2019, I decided to reuse Yubox as a brand to manufacture IoT-related electronic products, but now you know where the name comes from 🙂
