Anaconda's installation type selection screen.

Anaconda is the installer for Red Hat Linux and Fedora Core. It is written in Python and C, with a PyGTK graphical frontend. A kickstart file can be used to automatically configure the installation, allowing users to run it with minimal supervision.

Anacondas are lizard-eating pythons, and the SuSE logo is a lizard, hence the choice of naming.

Ports

Debian, maintained by Progeny
Gentoo, used by the VidaLinux distribution
