Anaconda Installer - 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.

A port to Debian exists, which is maintained by Progeny.

A port to Gentoo also exists. VidaLinux distro uses it.

Anacondas are pythons and eat lizards hence the choice of naming - the SuSE logo being a lizard.
